I dont like the idea of waiting 90 days to get paid. Are you saying if you decline the $105 a day you get paid for your miles at the end of every week?
UncleCharles Thanks this. -
It is still peanuts.
.35 is bottom of the barrel entry level junk. If you do it to break into the industry that might be one thing. Or if they're the only option for whatever reason. Long term that rate sucks.Lepton1, Dave_in_AZ, TripleSix and 1 other person Thank this. -
Exactly, if you decline flat rate, it's cpm. And you get paid normally. Per dispatched miles.

I am an ELD, and they offer raises and so on as a cpm driver. I'm not sure all of the details on it.
It won't be 35 cents forever, but this is starting pay. -
They are also paying off 100 percent of my tuition early.

They're giving him the "Option A" and the "Option B" scenario. Bad and not so bad. They're betting that he goes with 'not so bad.'
I'd opt for Option C. -
Wonder what interest rate they pay for holding the difference in the .35 vs 105 flat at the end of 90 day period.......

And it's funny, some of the guys asked I orientation, what should I do? What would you recommend?
They all said flat rate.. -
Or if they count days sitting against days he earns over $105. Say 7X105=$735 or 2,100 miles X 35c = $735 if he drives 2,100 miles in 4 days and then sits for 3 days are they going to pay him for extra miles (in 90 days) or call it even?
