A lot of the work we do the truck is paid by the hour. Or by the load, by the metre etc etc etc The above is immaterial as long as the driver is compensated fairly for all the work he performs.

Thank you Prairie Boy. I knew you were a fair employer. I also knew you had more experience than all the posters in this thread! Very simple philosophy: Look after your employees and they will look after you.
not4hire Thanks this. -
I don't know about being an employee, but I do know they treat their outside carriers very well. Equal rotation on loads, you know what you're getting paid up front, the rates are good and you get paid what you were supposed to. They're also not shy about letting you know when there is no more work.canadian and Prairie Boy Thank this. -

Mileage pay is a joke so I won't even comment on that.
Paying drivers by the hr and bidding jobs on volume of product takes some knowledge of the job, roads, conditions etc.
You have to move X amount of product from point A to point B. Figure out how many loads, how many hr's per load and how much per hr you want for the truck.
Some drivers will do it in 10 hr's others 11 but you should be making enough profit that small things and the occasional breakdown won't matter over all.
If you're bidding jobs so tight that a line up at the tire shop is gonna cost the company money because of the driver's wage... well you're bidding way to cheap.
About 10 years ago when I worked for Formula we bid on loads going up the McKenzie Hwy that we had been hauling the year before...( I don't remember the numbers) something like 75 hr's from Drayton and the winning bid was 29 hr's or something, we laughed and laughed and laughed lol. Obviously the person that bid the job had never been on that road, probably just looked on a map. -
He bids by the load by the meter etc. etc.
Actually I recently got laid off from one of the best and best paying jobs I ever had, I was paid percentage. Not a contractor an employee.
Question, can a driver being paid as a contractor get in trouble ?
