They brought back the 800 mile weekend pay

I've been complaining about the crappy weekend pay for 2 years...I hadn't been back here for a week when we butted heads over this for the first time.

I doubt my complaining had much to do with them bringing it back...but it made me feel better!

They bumped the fuel bonus back up a little too...but lately I'm running a little low to get it (6.4 mpg)

 

What is the 800 mile pay if I may ask?

 

If you are not under dispatch they will pay you an extra 800 miles for being empty over the weekend.

 

I made out like a bandit a couple times on that. Once I bounced out of IA to the yard in Gary. (paid bounce) I was having something done to the truck. Got done on friday, but did not load until monday about 12 miles away. Got paid an extra 800 miles on that run. Plus that run had some nice miles on it. Had a really good week pay wise.

 

Actually you are guaranteed 800 miles period, whether loaded or empty.

 

Yeah...they add the miles to your load if your load is under 800.

 

IF you dont get home. You go home on 300mi and thats all you get is 300mi.

 

Yep...thats right...I should have clarified that, Thanks.
