Driver Pay Increase

I'm on percentage at 29% and topped out with btc. Our top mileage pay is 50cpm. We have loads going everywhere, but one of our dedicated customers is a load of pain in totes. I took a load from Baltimore to sidney ohio. 458 miles paid $894. On percentage it paid me 259.26. If i was on mileage it would've only paid me 242.50.

Another load, sane customer different city. Memphis to whitehall wi 795 miles paid $2395, my cut was $694.55. On mileage it would've paid me $399. These are not one time loads, they are shipping all the time.

 

Agreed, that time and a half adds up quickly.

 

Not everyone pays time and a half.

 

And not everyone pays percentage either but the good ones do!

 

Yep but time and a half is even less common.

 

All five trucking jobs I've had have been hourly with over time.

 

Most of mine have to but a lot aren't. Even some of the bigger LTL carrier landing don't pay it until 50 hours or more. Trucking companies aren't required to pay OT.

 

I realize that. But why do people take non ot jobs? Not right.

 

No dam way Id pull a flat for mileage pay .

 

I'm paid hourly for loading and unloading, anything within 400km. Anything after that is .54/mile. I do okay. Plus I get paid more for anything over 6 axles.
