.42 CPM TAKE the job (with 3 years experiance you wont see another op like this)

 

no ezpass? theres no flippin way id work there,been there done that and the tolls are too high to be paid with MY cash and then wait for reimbursement. along the pa turnpike its over 50 cents a mile,right? tolls in indiana,ohio are way up and only going higher! going across the GW will be over 100$ if using cash.

theyre not using my bank account as a way for them to hold onto their cash longer,and then decide whether or not they will reimburse me. if my company wanted to go back to cash reimburse id tell them to go **** themselves.

if you take home 1000 and you spend 300-400 in tolls which is easy to do if out east (ive done it b4 we used ezpass,at lower toll rates)

thats 40% of that weeks take-home. and then youre at their mercy for them refunding that amount,which WILL happen 99%-100% of the time depending on company, my problem with it is that its a large percentage of your weekly budget...i would bring 1k with me for a given month out,and there were a few times id have to get money out of the atm because i never took cash advances. if anything they should pay extra for that bs, it was more slave labor,they were using my money after they paid me the money,for free.

 

your present company Exceeded the mandatory threshold for compliance,its not a "if thing" it is a "for sure",,its not like they will have a choice,Man WS #'s are deplorable,,,they wont have a option other than ELOGS

 

AT, all the worries are valid for VANS but flatbedding is a different world. For the most part shippers and recvr's are happy to see you. Issue with hours because of a long loading time (and it does happen with flats)? No problem, just talk to one of the many smiling faces that are around and they will work with you. And I'm not being sarcastic. It is night and day compared to the crape you have to deal with now.

If I had to choose between van wtih paper logs vs. flats with elogs, I would get my R2D2 on and run to the elogs.

Not to mention that once you have a year of flat under your belt you can move to a company that doesn't have them and pays even better than $.42/mile.

And I'm against these things. I see how it makes drivers with some of the mega carriers that are racing the clock unsafe and as an O/O with drivers leased to me I see it as an expense that has no safety value. But if they gave them to me then no problem.

Best of luck

 

AT, to answer your initial question, E-Logs will not by themselves break your check. That's the simple answer.

ECU, are you a sales rep for Qualcomm or PeopleNet? Maybe an office worker whose bread and butter is implementing this system? I'm starting to not trust you.

 

if you go on people net I can get you an interactive slide show so you can get used to it. Or just an instructional one so you can get the feel of it.
