I’ve been encountered many issues, conflicts in trucking so far and here’s one more. Why is it that dispatch miles is always shorter than practical miles? As a rookie, I view this #### as total rip-off until after explained it to me clearly. This affects my pay 100% the way load planners or who ever work on this.

Hub vs household movers guide. Basically the difference is actual vs zipcode to zipcode.
truckdriver31 Thanks this. -
I always work for "hub miles" and this prevents driving more miles than you're paid for.
That's something to discuss when looking for a new job, hub miles and accessorial pays.truckdriver31 Thanks this. -

They know that we use highways and interstates to pick and deliver loads but they based it on zip code to zip code in computing the miles! Life really isn’t fair!

Welcome to truck driving. The company I used to work for did worse than zip code to zip code, they'd do CITY TO CITY. I had a delivery in southwest Houston and a pickup in north east Houston. 45 miles apart and an hour and 40 minutes of driving through Houston bumper to bumper traffic and since there are no miles between Houston and Houston they paid 0 emtpy miles.
truckdriver31 and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
I stopped updating PC Miler after version 15 for driver pay. Most of the runs we do using that version are really close. That's why i don't agree with the global warming, if it warms up it expands and the miles get longer, it doesn't shrink and the miles get shorter. LOL
