    A bit OT, I've always wondered how are you paid, in km or miles?

    Welcome to the cpm scam. He will tell you everything is rolled into that .42 cpm. So when you are waiting at the dock for 8 hours to get unloaded he will tell you the same thing. Some believe it and spend there whole career working for less than minimum wage.

    U S federal labor law requires at least on week paid vacation.

    I don't know but I seem to think Canada requires one or two.

    I get paid 450 miles at .5325 cpm for all holidays. I get a week vacation at the same rate that would go up to two weeks at 3 years and three weeks at 10 years of seniority.

    Once you have a couple of years of experience there is no reason why you should be working for a company like that.

    Pardon me??? There is NO U.S. labor law requiring paid vacation. Look it up. Do you also believe that US Marshall's get involved in receiver/shipper vs driver disputes?
     
    Cranky Yankee and Toomanybikes Thank this.
