I payed most of my checks in tolls.&nbsp; Yes, they do reimburse you, AFTER you complete your delivery. SO, if you&nbsp; complete the delivery on FRIDAY you won&#039;t get paid and reimbursed until&nbsp; TUESDAY. So, if you make $230 for a previous load, pay $150 in tolls&nbsp; and $10 for a scale, you will have $70 to get you by for 5 days. I met a&nbsp; lot of drivers who paid the $160 when they only made $180 out of their&nbsp; previous check and had to survive on $20 for that 5 days. </p><p><br /></p><p>There&nbsp; is a lot that CRST doesn&#039;t tell the newbies. And obviously, a lot of the&nbsp; newbies don&#039;t think to much into what they are being told. They see the&nbsp; CRST sample pay sheet which shows &quot;6000 miles a week at $400&quot; or&nbsp; something. But they don&#039;t tell you that is rare. They tell you that you&nbsp; will pay tolls, but they do not tell you how much tolls are. If you are&nbsp; from the west coast, you most likely have never paid a toll in your&nbsp; life, especially in a rig. They don&#039;t tell you about how much time you&nbsp; may spend sitting, not making a dime. </p><p><br /></p><p>As to the .10cpm issue. I&nbsp; have stated it over and over in all my posts. I will show one last&nbsp; example in this post of how I get that.</p><p><br /></p><p>CRST says they pay (when I worked there) .22cpm. With Per Diem, it becomes .20cpm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, lets say our truck drove 2300 miles on a load, which is realistic with CRST.</p><p><br /></p><p>I get paid for half the miles of the 2300 driven.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you can either say, .20cpm x 2300 divided by 2 = $230 paycheck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or you can say:</p><p><br /></p><p>.10cpm x 2300 = $230 paycheck. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, either way you look at it, you are making $230 for that load. </p><p><br /></p><p>Each driver makes $230 for that trip. Weather you want to look at it as splitting miles or splitting pay, you make the same amount.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
