I heard a rumor that Butler only pays its drivers $0.23 a mile. Is that true?

As for Maine, I am sorry but we do not hire out of there.
To the .23 cents a mile, no we start at .32 cents a mile with a .02 cent per mile safety and performance bonus.

According to your website you have a base of $0.23 cpm and a $0.09 cpm per diem. 23+09=32 Originally Posted by ButlerKC

I could be wrong, maybe you can explain it to us. It seems like with a $0.09 cpm per diem your taking money from my back pocket and putting it in my front pocket.

I am going to try and answer all the questions with on post.
K-Tag
We do not have the k tad in the truck, but do reimburse for all tolls that do not use the pre pass and ez pass,
Per Diem
The .32 is broke down as .23 regular pay, and .09 is per diem. In speaking with a lot of different drivers, they are not 100% sure on how it works, and think that we are taking money away from them. Most of it comes from the daily per diem that a driver is allowed to claim which i think is $36 the last i checked. This is not true. At the end of the year, if the .09 per mile per diem does not ad up to what you get to claim, you can claim the difference and get that back. There are also other benefits to the per diem structure that if you would like you can call me and i will explain.
