    Sorry,Mike. I should used the reply with quote regarding Bluebeer's post about .40mi. I just got off the phone with USX payroll who stated that Arnold pays SW regional drivers .335 to start, then .34 after two years. More Arnold lies...

    Lol its cool I just thought youd meant me lol. Was gonna say my source would be that ive worked for arnold 3 times since 2009...left due to various family issues but always come back cuz they always treat me good and fairly. But will be moving back to ohio in another month or two. If they dont let that happen then Ill go back to Gordon Trucking whom I worked for last time I lived in Ohio last year. I left Arnold and florida and moved my family to Ohio to take care of my mother in law who was sick with cancer. They are both good companies just Gordon has better equipment is all. I hope things get better for you richieryan. Ive been reading your latest posts since coming back to work n im sorry you have been having a really bad go at it since returning to work. Just keep plugging away. Try getting a jacksonville based dm if you can. Like i said before when im in the truck im always pulling in 2500-3000 mile weeks. Just as i never have issues getting home when I ask. Im usually home the day before i request.

    Sadly, any rate of pay is meaningless when you can't count on the miles, either due to being in shop status, or planners that can't seen to move you more than 300mi a day. It's like working for commission, yet you have no control over your productivity.
    I'm losing yet another week of work due to breakdown. I appreciate the rental car, but we wouldn't be incurring these extra expenses if the equipment were maintained properly. All travel is handled by one person in Chattanoga (according to fleet owner), who we must wait on for the car rental booking. I'm sure they have a desk-full of these to process (USX/Arnold/Total). Since the travel was not booked on Friday, we will be waiting for an unknown period on Monday before we get the word and IF there is an available truck in GP. BTW, when driving a rental car, they pay .21mi.... something to keep in mind.
    My time-off should have been Fri-Sat, but with breakdown and subsequent rental car wait, I've been off 4 days as of today. Other job offers looking like the best option.
