Reefer vs dry van company drivers?

Ok. Some things work better for some and not for others. ( % vrs hourly) Used to be lots of milking the clock, mayby with the eld, and gps thats cut back some? I used to do alot of grocery dry goods van, not reefer. Rates were decent, but wait time was mostly awful. Only thing that made it better was detention after 2 hours. Even a place in Fremont Ohio i waited 5 to 6 hours. That was for a pickup. Company i was leased to then only gave them 1 free hr. 50 per hr was nice while sleeping. That was 16 years ago. Landstar driver was there when was waiting..asked him if he was getting paid to wait..he said nope. The whole trucking gig has always been a scamable business in various ways.

 

Because no employee would ever milk the clock by driving slow, staying on duty longer than needed, etc.

I would rather get paid for what I do, not how long it takes to do it.

If you want hourly pay go flip burgers.

You need to check the definition of "scam". Nobody is hiding any aspects of driving (load/unload times, mileage pay, etc); the information is readily available.

 

You had to bump a 4mo old thread to say that?

 

It's been revived, now on to the subject at hand I prefer Tankers>Dry van>something something darkside>reefer dead last me personally I hate the wait times and reefer get the worst.
