Apparently, in Colorado it does. In big grow warehouses on the edge of town,,where the REAL money is today.

Be glad you're fortunate enough to be working and make the best of it for now. -
Alright so where do you work? I mean you're seriously complaining about getting good miles? I'm OTR yet I'd be lucky to get 600+ mile loads. I usually get ####ty 300-400 mile live loads. Then the shipper takes 2+ hours to unload/load which eats up my 14 so I can only run maybe 400-500 miles that day.
If you got paid more for shorter miles I'd understand..but majority don't do that. You really don't have it bad.bryan21384 and kptnt2016 Thank this. -
tscottme Thanks this.

I have a guarantee minimum pay $1,000 a week. So I don't worry about the miles. We only do 300-500 miles most days. Depending if we have live load or live unload. If we run over 2,100 miles in a week then we get paid for all the miles we drive. Basically they are guaranteeing the first 2,100 miles. People might look at companies with guaranteed minimum pays. Normally I do $1,230 a week. That what I did last year. Home time kinda sucks in my opinion, but if you like working 70 hours in 6 days it's a steady pay check every week and never worry about making less then $1,000.
Mototom Thanks this. -

Idk about them but I don’t like working 14 hours plus a day and only being paid for 10.
You’d have to be an idiot.
One more week and I’m going to an hourly job where I’m home every day. I’m just done working for free.tommymonza Thanks this. -
If so, it might simply be a temporary thing until this Coronavirus thing is a bit more settled.Schnoodledorfer Thanks this.
