Practical Miles Petition to Congress

Heck with practical miles,pay us hourly and/or OT for hrs over 40 like non trucking jobs.How much ivory are you losing a week getting paid household movers miles?Companies will stop at nothing to keep drivers on the lowest pay scale there is and not getting paid for ALL MILES.I'll check out more on your petition.

 

I would like to see the exemption for OT removed for trucking and agriculture...

 

My drivers would bi*tch if I paid them practical miles, as they would lose money, we have ALWAYS paid hub miles, even if out of route or to their house.

 

There is one possible solution to the mileage problem. Get rid of the mileage pay and start paying drivers by the trip or load. Regardless of how long or or how short the trip is, the drivers would be paid either a percentage or a set amount of money. This could possibly eliminate "shortages" and "underpayments" in the drivers' paychecks.

 

i get paid hubmiles anything less is stealing

 

i agree 100%

we give them "two or three" free hours

we give them 5% - 10% free mileage AND WE GET PAID BY THE MILE!!!

in this day of google maps, its pretty clear to see exactly how many miles (using a logical truck route) from point A to B without short cuts thru backyards and cornfields that no driver would ever take

what do i do?

 

hub if you go out of route, or go to a truckstop, or even make a mistake and have to drive a few miles to get back?

we dont need hub miles, just plot the course and pay the man

 

Would be nice when the company wants to have you go out of route and use a special fuel stop.
