    That's how our barn pays us in CA.
    On-duty not driving is $15.50/hr
    15-min breaks hover around $22-$36/hr on some arbitrary and unpredictable sliding scale
    Then mileage pay for driving.

    You could say that, from the time we clock in to when we clock out. Every on-duty item is paid in some form or another, except lunches obviously.

    I think I need a job like that. But I do generally like where I work.

    Hey, every once in awhile we do things right. Maybe not real often, but once in awhile.

    Yeah I have to give credit where it's due. If only the affordability of the state came down lol.

    Looks like TForce is getting a piece of the action as well.
    TForce buys two former Yellow terminals - Truck News

    All we need now is Southeastern and Estes (or basically the “movers and shakers” of the LTL world) to call dibs on a terminal or two and everything will be divvied up! L O L

    That's what I made at XPO as a new driver in spring of 2021. Guys with a little experience were doing much better, and I'm sure everyone's pay has gone up since then. I left for personal/family reasons, but I didn't feel underpaid.
     
    dwells40, Albertaflatbed and Opus Thank this.
