lol
detention time.......23 dollars per hour....at the time of arrival all the above pay is 23 dollars per hour... yes you will be paid even if your put OOS... unless its a driver violation....shop and or breakdown is 23 per hour at the minute you are in either

 

$23.00 an hour is not too shaby for everything but the "load/unload".

I can unload a trailer in 2 hours or less. That would be $46.00. A lumper or lumper service would get $150.00 to $300.00 for the same load and same amount of time.
Sore subject with me....what trucking companies are willing to pay the driver versus a lumper (service) for the same work.
Nope! Keep your money boss.....I'm sitting this one out!
I used to love lumping my own load for the exersice and extra dough----until, I found out what the company would pay a lumper, and what they paid me.
Very earley in my career I got $70.00 once to unload 43,000 lbs. of 90 lb. boxes of meat (floor load to pallet)---found out what the company would have been willing to pay a lumper (think it was $150.00 in the earley 90's)....and said NEVER AGAIN.

 

yes I know about them box loads on the floor..... what I meant by loading or unloading pay is this ... They pay me 23 per hour to sit in the truck as someones is loading or unloading...all time spent on the dock.I havent touched frieght in 12 years

 

all this extra pay adds up to very lillte per week anyway they try to avoid having drivers do anything but drive...maybe I get only 1 to 2 hundred per week hourly pay.... most pay is mileage

 

ok does anyone have the scoop on jbhunt local intermodal as a owner operator are they taking good care of the o/o driver/ please respond and let me know

 

What a pisser

 

God grant us from the misery of corporate loopholes.

 

Is there a way to charge them $300 and cash the lumper number at the next truck stop?
