Employee set-up VS. Incorp Employee

Which has nothing to do with anything I was talking about. The topic in my post was reconciling the truck being paid by one method and the driver another.

You should have. Then you might be making statements that are relevant to my post.

Again, nothing to do with anything I said.

That's the problem with trucking. People think that $85,000 per year is a GOOD wage. I don't.

$30 per hour plus bonuses (if earned).

Prairie Boy has been at this a LONG time. he is as knowledgeable as they come and anyone that doesn't respect his thoughts regarding trucking is a fool. As far as what he pays, that's none of my business. If he feels the need to volunteer that info, that's up to him. personally, it's not my concern. Trucking is a widely diverse business and what one outfit pays cannot be transposed to trucking in general. You can't compare what a guy hauling groceries pin to pin with someone hauling logs in the coastal mountains or someone hauling oilfield. they aint the same thing. Now, in the off chance that you read this far, let me ask you AGAIN the question I asked in my previous post and the jist of what I've been saying all along. If your truck is paid by the mile, how do you calculate an hourly wage for the driver?.

 

I posted this ad on Wednesday or Thursday Morning on Kijiji and on Facebook, so far 168 responses.

The Health Benefits, RRSP, etc etc is about $2.75 an hour for ALL hours worked.
Just checked my IPhone, another 28 responses in email.

 

Life insurance is $100,000.00

Health & Welfare is now at $1.50 per hour worked.
Pension is also at $1.50 per hour worked.
Annual increases are automatic. $30.00 is starting rate only.

Tax Free Subsistence is $50.00 per day if out of town 16 or more hours in a day. On certain projects like a couple we have right now that jumps to $165.00 a day and in some instances we raised it to $235.00 a day where hotel costs are higher. The $50.00 is for meals only when using the sleeper.

 

For instance, if a driver shows up for work and for whatever reason his trip is cancelled, he is guaranteed 2 hours show up pay. If he works for just a few minutes and is done he gets paid for 4 hours.

I keep hearing about driver shortages.

 

All this and no driver incorporating to drive someone else shiatbox. This is a prime example of properly paying drivers for their time vested in a company

 

That right there is funny because you don't agree with Prairie Boy lol

 

No.. That's straight time rate. After 10 hours it jumps to $45.00 an hour. Holiday Pay is 6% of gross wages. What do you mean by asking if paid per load????? EVERY minute worked by the driver he is paid by the hour for it. If my guys were working in Ontario (and we do run loads as far as Labrador) we still pay them by the hour.

We have a few drivers that have been with the company for close to 25 years.

As for checking on drivers, we have Satellite systems in the trucks, If I want to check your driving hours I can go on my computer and say I put 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM The line for Driving Time might read: 9 Hrs. 14 Minutes and 38 Seconds.

Pay your people a decent amount for all hours worked and everyone is happy.
