THAT'S it. Now, I'm getting this. The companies have TOO MANY trucks and want to fill them with 'DRIVERS' so they can try to expand their foot-print and capture more accounts (that's the growth model of trucking). THAT'S why they pay drivers by-the-mile. They can afford to pay them peanuts ('Sorry Joe, No more runs today, nothin lined up until 2 days, SIT WHERE YOU ARE). We'll call you when we need you.
He's salaried with expected avg. of 3000 miles. That means, if the company has a RUN that needs to go from A-to-B, he does it. Most of the time, they have 3000 miles for him to run every-week, but if not, then he usually runs 2400 a week. No matter,...he gets his check every - week (with a mileage bonus). If he's meeting the 3k per week mark, he gets a few hundred dollars extra. FOR OTR driving, i understand that Salaried or Hourly, or percentage of load is the best way.
AGAIN, he works for a Large Medical Transporter. His job is 'coveted' by Drivers who run long and hard hours (he's a worker). He makes above avg. income in comparison to most OTR truckers.
