I've worked for companies who stole from drivers before so I got in the habit of putting every single load on a spreadsheet. This is my spreadsheet from 2016.
I drove National Fleet OTR (min 3 weeks out). Ended up driving 345 days that year and this spreadsheet covers each and every load. Notice how detention is less than one in ten loads.

I do bust my butt though. -
You realize little Tonny is an active member of the ATA and wants you to log every minute at a shipper or receiver, your planning and scaling and waiting for a load offer on Line 4?
RubyEagle Thanks this. -
One of my last loads with Stevens Transport had me make four drops in the LA area over three days, and I got 1 mile per drop after the first + $35 per drop after the first. One of my least favorite loads ever. Three days stuck in LA, and I made $105 in drop fees + three miles ($0.93.)
Longer loads with one pick and one drop aren't so bad for zip code miles, but watch out for shorter or multi-stop loads. -
Farmerbob1 Thanks this.

I love Crete...been at 5 different companies and Crete is head and shoulders above the others. Also, the practical miles paid adds about 2 cents to the bottom line vs. other companies, so 49 cents at Crete is like 51 cents paid at other companies. I stay out about 45 days, take about 4 days home time, and average $1200-1300 gross per week. (And to China: I cannot stand the fumes from the APUs, they come right into my truck windows from those ground level exhaust pipes. I open my windows when it is nice outside, and those APUs are running all the time, no matter what, it seems.)
