Dead head

I do not make a nickel on my dh miles and I dh home more often then I don't.

I'm not getting robbed.

People on this site need to get away from the mega company mentality. But I guess when so many won't put in enough effort to get away from them they get what they deserve.

 

I deadhead for free, but I work for percentage so it's a whole different ball game for me. I choose to not worry about my deadhead miles and focus instead upon the weekly, quarterly, and yearly gross income. Saves me stress that way.

 

I'm paid on percentage as well, with the responsibility to maximize revenue. If that means deadheading to get back to high revenue freight instead of wasting time on a low revenue load, then I make the choice.

When I was paid by the mile I was paid for all dispatched miles: loaded, bobtail, or deadhead.

 

if youre deadheading home I can see not getting paid the miles which I basically said in my other post, but what if you dh 100 miles to your next load from where you unloaded,dont you think drivers should get paid for those miles?

 

My next load is at home. I often times dh several hundred miles.
I'm not picking at you but the blanket statements that get thrown around on this site drive me crazy.

 

Don't gimmi that,youre picking on me.there was absolutely no reason to say what you just did.I have many thanks proven otherwise.you find my post so stupid then put me on ignore,problem solved.

 

I'm not here looking for an arguement or insults and that's exactly what youre doing so plz ignore my posts if you find them so crazy for your liking.

 

I don't find your posts so stupid so settle down. And I'm not gimmi you that I was picking on you. I wasn't.
I'm simply pointing out that not all drivers are getting screwed by not getting paid dh miles.

There are no insults in my post. I just have an opposing view that is correct. It's OK to learn something and not be correct.

 

that I got but saying some of my posts on this site is crazy I took as an attack against me.I don't need that especially so early in the morning.I ask you to please keep your insulting thoughts to yourself and we'll get along just fine.

 

I never said your posts were crazy. I do not think they are.
I simply offered an opposing view.
