Prime Pay and Raise schedule (company drivrers)

Here are the numbers I was given by payroll about a year ago. I have two charts but I am only going to post the one for drivers that have started after Sept. 2009.

Mileage followed by Solo then Team rate. These are the base pay rates and do not include any other bonus pay where qualified. Pay chart doesnt go past 1.7 million miles. I'm only going to post up to 1.1m.

Training miles (team) are counted toward the total.

Less than 80,000 - .300 solo - .360 team
80,000 - .330 - .390
120,000 - .340 - .395
180,000 - .345 - .400
250,000 - .350 - .405
320,000 - .355 - .410
430,000 - .360 - .415
570,000 - .365 - .425
720,000 - .370 - .430
840,000 - .375 - .440
975,000 - .380
1,100,00 - .385

Fuel bonus .001 to .04 per miles based on MPG calculated between Fridays of the previous week. (teams split fuel bonus) new company minimum is now 7.0 mpg. The old scale still applies starting from 6.75, however the bonus isn't paid below 7 anymore.

Team bonus .10 per mile split for all miles over 3500 on loads completed between Fridays of the previous week

.05 per mile for solos in lightweight single sleeper trucks
.05 per mile for solos assigned to Northeast Regional Fleets (must be on a NE regional FLEET and live in NE. OTR solos on NE loads do not qualify on a trip by trip basis)

I've seem to lost the exact figure, but vacations are 120,000 miles or 125,000. Calculated from upgrade to A seat. This means training miles are NOT included.

1 week paid a flat $500. After 5 years 2 weeks at $550 a piece.

IP claims a week is only 5 days. A week is 7 days in my book and I've always taken 7 days, twice now. I'm up to my third vacation next week and I while discussing my plans with my FM a few months ago, he said i could combine my 4 day home time with 7 days vacation. So the 2 day home time plus 5 day "week vacation" argument doesn't fly in my experience.

This is all based on the info I haven been given in the past. If someone knows of a change that I haven't been aware of, feel free to step in and correct.

 

Also, there is no forced or coerced teaming... Unless you count the training miles with a trainer.

If you wish to team you are left to your own devices on finding a team mate. There is no centralized system for actively matching people seeking team. Most people arrive with a friend them or a relative with the intention of teaming. Other usually find someone during training, or hanging around the terminal.

My FM seemed to indicate that he prefers this method, so his drivers can't point a finger at him for putting them together if personality conflicts arise within a team.

 

No.

It's a fixed amount. .075/mile of the pay rate is untaxed per diem.
