Here lately i've noticed my loaded miles on my load assessment to my GPS is like always 8-10% off.
I get it zip code to zip code but still doesn't seem right 1159 mile GPS trip and 1089 loaded miles (paid)
And last week i had a coast to coast and it was off 122 Miles,
Is this normal

The company we use to work for called them mover miles or something like that. We had several checks where it was a 300 mile difference. Hopefully someone will come along here and explain it to you. But it seemed like we always was expecting such and such miles but we only got paid for x amount of miles. It was a downer at times. Because we knew exactly how many miles we drove but never was paid the exact miles.

My husband and I drove team and I think we drove 200,000 miles that year. Well our previous employer would keep 8-10% just like you mentioned so we only got paid for 180,000 which would of amount close to 13,000 that the company didn’t pay us for actual miles we drove.

Trucking companies before GPS often paid based on a book for household moving companies. It was called Household Movers Guide sometimes abbreviated HHG or HMG.

At least you noticed. A lot of Drivers and O/O’s ignore it or accept it as being normal. It’s the oldest trick in the book.That 50 cpm job, is actually 42 cpm job. Absolutely no excuse for it today. Should be paid address to address. Shortest practical Truck Route. Just one more BS trick Companies pull.

Yes, a software. I’ve seen PC Miler do the same this. It’s definitely designed to help the owners.

I base my loaded miles on the most miles between to 2(gps and speedometer) and turn in the hand tag. The shipper/broker will always pick the shortest mileage, I work with “Physical” mileage.
Edit: “Physical miles”….. **Hub miles…..Last edited: Jun 25, 2022
