Check this out: As of September 1, driver payroll policies changed, reducing pay. I found out September 16, when I asked why my PO for layover pay was less than normal. Apparently they sent a fleetwide message to every driver but me. Whatever. Here's the rub:

Layover pay has gone from $50/day to $40/day.

On-time service bonus ($15/load) has been cut.

Passing a Level 1 (or whatever) DOT inspection without a driver fault bonus (Don't know how much, never got inspected) has been cut.

Quarterly safety meetings are now mandatory, and the bonus pay has gone down for O/O's now. Mandatory as in (Paraphrasing a message from safety) "Any driver who has not attended the quarterly safety meeting will be routed to the nearest terminal and shut down until they attend."

The $500 quarterly safety bonus is still around, and still impossible to get.

And the idle charge is still enforced. So when you're sitting around, not getting a load, I hope you're not idling. Cuz that $40/day they might pay you won't cover the idle charge they'll sock you with for it.

I gotta get out of here....

I don't get around to this site very often. Personally, I believe the forums here are overly complicated to navigate most of the time.
