Am i being too easy going?

Are you working for an independent contractor?

 

My moms husband did this when he 1st started in trucking after retiring from excavation work. He ran for a co doing drop and hook Fedex freight from central IL to Chicago and back every night.

 

If they have a dedicated run or runs already then that means they’ve accumulated points in the Ground system to be able to bid on them or bought out a contractor someplace else to get the points to bid on dedicated runs. You will be w-2 with benefits and if the base pay is something you’re happy with then I say give it a go but keep on them about the rest of your pay, especially if you’re building and breaking sets a couple times per shift. Could be they’re speaking to other contractors to figure out what the average pay is for that kind of stuff, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re trying to screw you out of it.

 

I’d just keep on them about it then, maybe reach out to some other contractors and see what they pay. Or search on this forum and see if you can come up with anything for Ground information.

 

Just remember, if they don't know how to pay, they might not know they need to pay. Fyi

 

That answer right there says they are doing it wrong in Canada . So most likely a lowball company. Driver inc 1099 etc
