Sure did.
I spoke to my payroll manager. She explained to add per diem and gross, then divide by miles. The gross is taxable the per diem is not.
This week was the first full check without trainer miles. 2166 miles and I took two days home.
$.40 cpm before per diem. After per diem, .$48 cpm!
That'll work!
Two other guys, former roommate went company as well. One says he is making money but now thinks he should have took a lightweight for the bonus I'm getting, fuel and lightweight. This is the guy who asked for a condo and was given one. The other guy, is getting off to a bad start with a lemon lightweight cascadia. I told him, ask for another truck. The Qualcomm messages from the last driver say, 'get me out of this lemon!' Lol!
I'm now going to see how many miles I can rack up each week. One of my buddies is averaging 2700 miles per week. BTW, I'm only doing max mph at 62. So, I could be making more. I've had a lot of mountainous driving and high headwinds from Montana to Illinois. I found the wheel for four states and knew my mileage was in the tank, literally. But, good ole lightweight, brand new navistar 13, still beat the fleet average!
Also, that Cheyenne load was so heavy I had to slide the fifth wheel. I never could get it back in the slot I started in, third hole I believe. I just left it on fourth. It just kept jumping a whole notch.
I digress.

Brehon and darthanubis Thank this. -
Looks like the lightweight is for one person only...can you request a condo as a new driver (once you get the required experience) if you are planning on taking a passenger regularly?
