    IMO .....Mileage pay does not work ......I believe all new hires are mileage.....if they used actual miles it would make a big difference. When I get a load ...they tell me say 625 miles....but when I run it, it is actually 700....so right there is a 8-10% difference......so when they say $1.00 a mile......take 10% off of that....it is more like .90 a mile.
    I think they use the small practical miles....just smoke and mirrors......It should be more like $1.05 all miles, +FSC and 100% detention....just my 2 cents...

    The trop guys seem to be doing well on mileage same with north east... But your gonna get a lot more miles, and the scale is different on those 2 fleets... I have averaged as high as 1.81 all miles (odometer) a month on percentage... Also as low as $1.20 my average since being leased onto sunco is $1.43 on odometer miles... There is no way they are gonna come close to that paying a dollar thirty something on dispatched miles...

    Well detention is paid to us at 70%.....Detention is usually when we get screwed......I sat at Walmart this week for 9 hours getting unloaded.....was not late got there before my appointment time......I agree that Sunco should make money but where did they earn any part of me sitting somewhere for 9 hours ? Detention should be all ours at 100%.....and for that matter, extra stops pickup pays too....they take 30% on that......

    I hope I don't sound bitter or ungrateful.....especially on this wonderful time of Thanksgiving.....I have been blessed my whole life and thankful to be able to do what I am doing.....Happy Thanksgiving to all.....Praise God!!

    FWIW....this is the first Thanksgiving that I will be working in my entire life.....My two oldest boys , out on their own are a ways from me....1-on vac in Hawaii , 2-Philly.....but we are all looking forward to a family Christmas party.....I just need to get a load to Philly around then.......

    LMB....I have prayed and will continue to pray for your wife's cancer......Enjoy the time home with your family......we can all truck next week !!

    I am going to do a study.....for the next few months, every load I get I will compare it to mileage and will share my results in the future...
