New Driver Pay Increase

Meh I would argue that all trucking companies from a single owner operator with his own aauthority, to a mega carrier like swift care about profit per truck or they wouldn't be in business very long.

but honestly the debate about drivers working for a lo cents per mile or owner operator hauling the cheap freight, has been said since the late fifties early sixties. and it won't change until they have trucks that drive themselves. because in a free market (well one can argue that this is not really a free market). will always be a problem.

 

Yeah, it's slightly fuzzy.
I'm thinking its prolly a one-time across the board .02 for everyone with more than a year and the usual bump each year as usual..I guess.

The .02 increase for performance will raise Plats to .05cpm. Will make for a healthy bonus per quarter.

 

I'm wondering how they are going to keep drivers on their dedicated accounts if all these pay raises favor the OTR folks? I would be diamond if I was still OTR.

Sure be nice to be making another 8 cents a mile.

 

Apparently in your case it isn't a bad thing. In my case the only plan that covers the expensive non generic med I take is the Platinum plan. Went from paying $27 a week to $84 a week and dropped my vision and dental to keep it from being $100 a week.

 

Any L/Ps care to indulge what their pay increase was?

 

I real nice one. $0.035/mi. Feel all warm and fuzzy now

 

wow thats not a raise just like the L/O we get .03 per all miles. not as big of a slap in the face as last time but still one.
