Prime Company driver "OTR pay" increase 8/3/13

didn't even notice til i went back to last weeks paycheck
confirm 1cpm increase in base wage

btw on the flat $1k per week, i talked with a company guy on one of those accounts he is on a RAILEX dedicated north east account & he gets min $1k gross per week & says his avg miles are around 2000.
over a certain amount of miles he gets paid additional wages, dispatchers for the dedicated north east stuff are out of pittston evidently and at least one of them is a woman.

 

i started feb 2012 .34 CPM plus .5 CPM LW then in aug 2012 it was a .2 cpm increase now aug 2013 .1 CPM increase pretty good for new drivers.

 

hells ya, plus the normal 1cpm | 1/2cpm normal increases at mileage goals...only have about 30000 to go before another 1cpm increase woohoo

 

Can reefers be considered a lightweight?

Thanks IP!

 

The tractor is what is considered lightweight. As long as you don't have a condo I believe your considers lightweight. If I have read correctly

 

It's the tractor that's lightweight.

 

Thanks! What makes a truck a lightweight?

 

The sleeper is smaller. Basically, in the Cascadia, it cuts out the cabinets right behind the seats. It makes them lighter, enabling the shipper to load the box with more weight. It also doesn't have a top bunk.
