what otr company pays all miles? what otr company pays for on duty not driving time? most companies will pay detention pay if at stop for more than 2 ours. layover pay is paid after 24 hrs. same with breakdown. this doesn't just apply with swift or any other starter company.Well there you go. You have actually showed how to spot a junk OTR company. so unless you get paid by the hour this is what it is. Now there's a concept! Imagine that, a company that pays their drivers for all of their on duty time. Even OTR companies could come up with a combination of miles and hourly to compensate their on duty time. Don't worry, it's never going to happen. Too many waiting for seats so the OTR companies have no reason to ever change the way they do business. actually got a letter from some attorney where someone is trying to start a class action against swift for all the non paying time. all companies should in lawsuit but most drivers won't stick together unless they are union. Don't mention the Union word! The mods will send that to the abyss of this forum. Besides, most drivers hate the word Union. I don't know why? I've really not seen too many negative threads about Union carriers. Can't say the same about their non-Union counterparts though. so you get what you get. not going to debate on low pay due to everyine knows what swift pays before they sign on. i get .36/mile due to my experience.so i'm no rookie. and yes, this is my choice to join swift and you don't see me complaining. well, except for pay... i'll never make enough money lol[/QUOTEWow!
