Crete / Shaffer pay raise announced for OTR drivers

on a 1,500 mile load, I'll be within 10 miles of the paid miles.
On a 350 paid mile load. I'm usually at least 40 miles underpaid.

This was my weekend load, 230 paid miles, 4 extra stops, 317 hub miles.

Good luck in your new adventure Freightwhipper.

 

Exactly! ...

Practical miles are usually very close to actual miles unless you either have a bunch of stops and get screwed because of the zip to zip or run a bunch of out of route miles.

Good luck to you and thanks!

 

I know what I'm talking about I did get paid for the trips I turned in crete pays practical miles please I ran 2700 got paid just over
2300 the last trip didn't get in for some reason
I can show my pay stub if I had too

 

I was a little shocked I should of got 450 miles more for this up
Coming check my 1500 mile run from buford, GA to denver didn't get in turned that trip in on Monday

 

Last week I had 2700 driven I know for a fact that I didn't get paid
All those miles I am probably getting paid 2300-2400 of the 2700 that I ran from what trips I turned in
I'm on a trip that from broken bow, ne to plainfield, IN
850 miles loaded give or take

 

Referral soliciting...
Seriously..?
How can a forum for truckers not allow a tiny joke now and then..? We're not twelve year olds. ####.

 

Aaaand thats one of the many reasons I'm happy running dry van with Crete vs reefer with Shaffer. Same company but often very different freight lanes. I get slightly more miles (2900 average at last check) but I won't voluntarily go north or east of PA unless there's some VERY good mileage involved. Since I've been here I've run freight in/out of western NY a few times, into Jersey once and once I made it as far northeast as Newburgh. And living in SoCal has nothing to do with it, I spend most of my time going back and forth from the Midwest to the Southeast or Texas. And yeah, occasionally I get stuck in the dreaded PA/OH loop every now and then. On the downside my asset manager is an idiot (my home terminal staff is awesome but not my AM) and I pretty much don't see the west coast unless I'm due for hometime but I pretty much knew what I signed up for before I got hired on. As long as they keep paying me well, getting me home when I ask and they don't jack me around as much as Swift did I can't complain much.

By the way freightwipper good luck in the future. I know there are some better companies out there and for your sake I hope you find one. If not we're always recruiting
