I never saw something like that. I thought you get paid a certain amount an hour or you dont? thanks
what does it mean when a job posting says something like $23.25/hr. guaranteed?

Read the fine print. The guarantee is usually based on so many miles in a given period of time, availability to take a dispatch, no service failures, and no customer complaints.
It's another way for the trucking company to make sure that it doesn't pay you too much.
There are probably some good salary jobs out there but we've been hearing some real horror stories too.jason6541 Thanks this. -
thanks im trying to understand this, so say a job say 10 dollars an hr guaranteed. and i work a 40 hr week does that mean im getting at least 400 dollars(before taxes of course) no matter how many stops i make?
-
Hourly pay is usually for local jobs. Doesn't matter what you do or how many stops, pay is strictly by the hour from the time you clock in until you clock out.

I don't know what a guarantee means concerning an hourly job. -
Maybe they mean they won't cut your pay once you start working there?.
I agree it's an odd listing. Maybe they are just trying to make it sound more appealing or are not used to paying by the hour and use "guarantee" for their other salaried positions.snowlauncher Thanks this. -

Bean Jr., Brettj3876 and lester Thank this.

It means they're collecting as many resumes as they can and they're only going to pay about $17 to start because "that" job is already filled but don't worry, they have another job for you it just doesn't pay as much.
Beware of the word "guaranteed", it never means what you think it means. -
Helps a bunch when you get stuck with all the heavy traffic (both ways across Atlanta) 200 mile route, deliver in the morning with no reload till the afternoon kinda runs for a week. Makes sure you are compensated when Dispatch is not looking out for you.
Of course does not work if they run you good half the period and bend you over for the other part........ can kinda give dispatch a low load management target of "just don't dispatch anybody so they get hourly pay"slow.rider Thanks this.
