    Abilene camaraderie, right here. Any other trucking company, we're talking 20 pts at least.

    Umm, so I guess Abilene pays HHG miles, not PC Practical? That's a full 10% difference between actual miles and paid miles. After hearing the mileage pay I've got to say I'm a little disappointed. I understand they pay extra for NE miles but .37 for everywhere else and HHG miles is not what I expected.

    JB can you please give me a call when you're back from home time. Thanks

    By the way @Redtwin, those are some impressive miles for your first year, well done!
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    That's great money for a 1st year driver, drivers starting out at a "starter" company would'nt come close to that. Just seems like your paid miles compared to actual miles would average out to 323 unpaid miles a week.

    My miles driven as opposed to actual came to less then 2% difference, and that's over the 4+ years I'm here. But then again, I'm pretty good at taking the same routes all the time. I know @chralb and I have an ongoing debate about shorter route as opposed to quickest. I rather take the shortest, he rather take the quickest.

    Just want to mention to the dude that dropped trailer #6565 at Target DC in Indy with the blown driver side outside tire and the leaking brake chamber, hold my beer, I got this. Just what I wanted to do after driving 720 miles. Thanks douchebag.
     
    bigred81, chralb, Lonesome and 3 others Thank this.

    I use the truck for personal conveyance every week to run errands and get groceries etc as I don't own a car. Granted that wouldn't account for a major amount, but not all unpaid odometer miles are unpaid "work" miles.

    Also Deadhead miles to get home are unpaid and I have driven as much as 320 miles to get home from my last stop.
     
    chralb, runningman0661 and JohnBoy Thank this.
