I've seen this on various job ads "We only pay ticket time." Or "We pay ticket time." Excuse my ignorance but what does that mean? If they are advertising hourly then I think a driver would get paid (at the least) from the time he turns the engine on in the yard until the time he returns to the yard and turns the engine off.
Is this a way of a company trying to ##### a driver out of pay?
Ticket Time ??

Basically I guess they are paying you based on what the time stamps says when you clock in/clock out on your time card

All this means is that the well pays pre determined number of hours per load. If you hustle and take 1.5 hours to complete a load that pays 3 hours you will make out like a bandit. I made a lot of money in Pecos, Tx working like this, billing 38 hours per day on several occasions. The risk is that the ticket time is set real close to how long it actually takes to do the load. Any delay at the disposal or breakdown will cost you time. If you hustle, and have a good truck this is a good way to make money quickly.

ticket time means that the company pays for a set amount of time, regardless of how long it takes you to do the work... great if you can do the job safely in less time. Not so good if you get delayed.
Was the way many companies and drivers were making mega dollars.... billing by ticket times, driver actually works 13 hours, but bills 20 hours... Lately the larger drillers are NO longer accepting ticket time bids, only actual time, or by the load.Tamiami Thanks this. -
I thought ticket time was a thing of the past

They don't do it in the Marcellus/Utica as a rule. Actual time, by the load, or dedicated truck at $X/hour for X time (site trucks and the like).
Tamiami Thanks this.
