Hourly pay calculation?

If you don't like what your doing, change it. I don't recall asking you to drive. Be a banker, lawyer, burger joint employee. I drive to live, live to drive. Way it is.

 

You don't need calculations. All you need to know is you're going to be paid for anywhere from 1,800 to 3,200 mile per week at whatever rate you're paid at. Also, you may perhaps make $0 to $200 week in other "accessorial pay", depending on where you work and what you're hauling. You also need to know that you re required to fuel your truck daily, do comprehensive vehicle inspections, wait for your load to be unloaded and loaded, sit idle in traffic and/or weather, etc "for free". And that the job keeps you away from home for weeks at at time in many cases.

In exchange for that, you get a job with a lot of autonomy, allows you to see North America, and pays well some weeks, and not so well other weeks. I don't know how else it needs to be explained.

 

I do not believe you even want to drive truck,report for school perhaps?

Just a wannabe who could not cut it?

To many insignificant question about calculations and pay.

 

Cheese......as stated you can't just figure your time driving. That might be the easy/cheesy way but it's 100% wrong. You have to figure all of your on duty time because thats the time you have spent working.

 

Conversion from mileage to "real hourly", "faux hourly", "gross hourly", "net hourly", etc has been done repeatedly. It's all on how you perceive the value of your time and how important time away from home is or is not to you. The variables are few, the numbers you can plug into them can vary wildly.

But again, I refer you to post #13 and have to ask why? Why convert a drivers gross pay to hourly? ... it only becomes more depressing the more you analyze it, yet gross pay is gross pay, not matter how you arrange the numbers or extrapolate the numbers. Anyone who has driven more than 4 weeks is full aware of the the idea the driver does a lot for no pay.

 

Oh so you're another ebook writer that knows nothing about the subject?
