    Company pays us just under $200 for 6-8 holidays per year. We make that whether we work or not. This year I ran around 600 miles at .51 on July 4th. It will be about a $500 day.

    I get an extra $100 if I log a minimum 4hrs on duty on a holiday.

    I'll take it.

    I get $500 for Christmas whether I work or not. $200 for the other holidays. If I work those days I get whatever I make for the day, in addition to the holiday pay. But as someone else pointed out, the gooberment has their hand out, making it pointless to work

    What happens if July 4 is on a Friday and I already have 56 hours in for the week and they ask me to work for 14 hours the Friday July 4? How much do I get?

    i do believe that union shops will pay double time for working on holidays. this i know, cuz i did work for an LTL company that is union. but i worked linehaul and as such, we did not run out on holidays, and it was very rare that a city driver worked any holiday as well. but a road driver getting double the miles pay?

    all i can say is, "keep the dream alive".

    Why 6-8 holidays? Are not stat holidays annual?
    Ontario we get 10 paid stat holidays. I also get a month paid holiday.
    My suggestion at last company fell on deaf ears. They pay 8 hours holiday pay. WTF do truck drivers ever work only 8 hours. Most OTR drivers work around 12 to 15 hours
