Canadian good and bad trucking companies

JR Hall is friggin low rent. Including per diem in their cpm, friggin skanks. The 08 cpm expense allowance should absolutely be tax free considering it’s spot
So ya working for .46 cpm
That explains a lot!

time to move on!!

 

It is tax free.

 

that 16km city driver range should be extended to 160km but I’m sure you know that as which is more in line with P&D
Wage should be negotiated lower and in rear the per diem to benefit drivers
.53, a miles if ya running team with both wives to live in your neck of the woods

 

That's up to the Federal Government to decide.

I forgot to mention the team rate, it's around $.70 cpm, with the miles divided among the two drivers. Another $.20 on that team rate if pulling an LCV.

 

Its 160kms in Alberta, for the City/No Logs deal. I would say, they're still a good outfit, because people are actually getting paid at all. All of those companies I listed, and nickle and dimming everyone to death, that's just freight hauling in 2026. Most dump truck companies, are doing driver inc now so. This is why I quit, and I'm never coming back.

 

Never heard of a federally regulated CITY driver designation. AFAIK the company can be federally regulated which means all employees are considered federal.
I have been wrong before tho.

 

Yes, you are right. A federally regulated company means all the employees that are employed there must follow the federal labour laws, not provincial labour laws. A federally regulated city driver is anyone who works at a federally regulated company.

Unfortunately, the 160 km logbook exemption is totally unrelated to how the government defines what a city driver is for overtime calculation purposes.

Part of the reason for me posting here is to spread awareness, because honestly, most people just don't understand the law. And that makes it easy for companies to weasel their way out of paying overtime. I, too, didn't understand until I started looking into this and many calls with the labour board.
