    I was NOT Ok with being paid short miles. I work for a company now that pays based on GPS miles. You cry about not knowing some secret formula for paid miles. IT IS NOT A SECRET. There was a BOOK called the Household Movers Guide that among other things listed the mileage between every zip code in the US. That is your "secret formula" You have only been driving about 3 years, but that is long enough to know how things are done and how to work around the parts you don't like. But you STILL insist on coming on here with the same BS arguments about how you are being screwed. You are screwing yourself. Plain and simple, then coming on here to piss and moan about how little old you is being mistreated instead of just fixing it.
    You picked a weird hill to die on. You are doing the billy bigrigger equivalent to an Army fighting a losing battle against an entrenched enemy over strategically and tactically worthless ground, when all you have to do is bypass that worthless patch of ground.

    i’ll say it one last time, hopefully it sinks in this time. It’s not just The household movers guide miles, I was OK with living by that. It’s when they tell me I have to run a different route that’s even further. Comprende?

    that bumped the difference from about 80
    Miles to 160 miles. In my humble opinion if the company is requiring me to drive 80 miles out of route, when there’s another route available that’s perfectly fine, they should pay me for it. You can’t understand that, I can’t help
