So why are you still getting paid by the mile? If anything, with the ELD's we now have a firm evidence tracker that OTR should be paid by the hour, or perhaps full work-day. Who's up for starting a riot?
Ughmm, the ELD measures on/off work hours ..

I'm down with starting a riot and I don't even care what for. I just have a couple of questions; are coffee breaks paid and when do benefits start?
Oh yeah, good companies pay for everything. We paid our drivers percentage, but we also paid waiting, breakdown, etc.God prefers Diesels, AModelCat, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this. -
I know you mean it in simple math terms but mileage is not that simple.
Even using $9.00 min wage an OTR would be better off getting paid min wage from punch in to punch out. It's ALL part of the job.skipgears Thanks this. -

can you make 500 every day. 7 days a week?
Overtime would apply to the $9 if applicable.skipgears Thanks this. -
Depends on the hourly rate.
I'll stick with mileage rate as it is higher than my hourly rate that i am payed whenever my wheels stop turning
I do line haul pin to pin. Yesterday I did a drop in the city due to holiday,,FRIST DELIVERY in 25 years,,,that is my annual favour to the company and they know itCoffey Thanks this. -
And trucking companies do not have to pay over time your more likely gonna get straight pay. And I said 14 hour because that the legal time you can drive with in a day but I x -
Some valid points made above ^^, instead of quoting them each I'll just make my summer here.
$9/hr or "minimum wage" (your state/province variable) would apply for off-duty or sleeper-birth provisions. However for an on-duty or driving status, a proper and valid wage should apply. For simplicity let's assume $25 @11+3hrs in a daily cycle. Total for that is $350, plus the off-period pay let's assume $9 for 10hrs. Making a daily total of $440. A driver would have to travel 880 miles at .50cpm to assume that amount. Firstly illegal as anything over 660 daily miles per day is questionable to DOT (11hrs@60mph). And secondly most OTR days are too inconsistent. Most company drivers would see a decent pay hike with an hourly pay method. But go ahead, change my mind, maybe I'm just lucid dreaming.gentleroger Thanks this. -
Why do so many drivers think they will be paid less if the industry goes to hourly pay? Are they saying they'll accept a lower wage?
gentleroger Thanks this.
