I mapped out the trip and sure enough the paid miles were for the thruway route.The route to keep me off the thruway was about 40 miles longer. I pointed that out and that it was excessive unpaid miles. They placed a way point city that is along I86 in the suggested route which brought the paid miles to reality.
The only real issue I ever had was dead heading from that beer distributor in downtown Cincinnati after a delivery to just outside the city to a paper recycling place for a load to Cherokee, AL. It was 19 unpaid deadhead miles because the address for the recycling place was a Cincinnati one even thought it was actually outside the city. I protested that but never got anywhere.Steelersjunkie Thanks this. -
@Jblaw15 just remember this. Most new folks/students will focus on unpaid miles, because it looks like you aren't getting paid for work you've done. The miles aren't what matter. TIME is what matters. That is your most valuable commodity as a company driver. There are many occasions where I have added unpaid miles to my route to shorten time. Time makes you available. Time keeps you moving.
Farmer54, JOHNQPUBLIC, Airmech and 2 others Thank this.
