You know that never happens. They always have something for you to do to make sure you work at least 8 hours.
If there were days like you say, I’d have no problem being paid a daily rate. You’d figure it all evens out. But there isn’t. There’s the 12 hour days- and the 8 hour ones. Never any 4-6 hour days.
I don’t have a dog in this fight- I get paid hourly for every second I’m there and time and a half past 8 and 40, but I see the OP’s point
How common is hourly pay?

you keep jumping from one crappy job to the next.
Everyone of your post is the exact same way.
You constantly put down every driver that gets paid
By the mile or percentage as basically stupid slaves
Who work for free.
Yet you've never done either one of them because
You scared your trainer so bad at Werner that they
Put you out on the curb. Literally.
You making half of what those guys are making,
And working longer hours.
But you think you know everything.
Great thing about the internet is it never forgets.
All your threads are still on here.
I didn't say anything about your last one you put
Up a couple weeks ago.
Where you where calling some Schneider driver
A idiot for taking a turn to wide.
Did he hit anything, no, then that's all that matters.
He's doing what you couldn't.
He made the cut.
You want a good job, your gonna have to learn how
To back up a 53ft trailer into tight docks.
All day, everyday, and stop complaining about what
Your getting paid. The whole trucking pay system
Is not gonna change for you.
Your still trying to game the system.
Your want top money with your limited skills.
Dump trucking and milking cows on a farm
Doesn't equate to your now qualified to hop
In a truck for some local LTL company and do
20 stops in the city all day.
Not even close.
In your other tread you said you were making
A 1000 a week on that milk truck.
Now its 800 a week and sitting for free.
Which is it.Ruthless, Blackshack46, Hotplate and 7 others Thank this. -

but yep, he can talk about others making wide swings.Ruthless, Crude Truckin' and Dumdriver Thank this. -
I had an unannounced detour yesterday an accident had the road shut down on my normal route. Since I'm local I knew the roads well enough to quickly find my way around it.
Milking cows???? That's funny.... I'm driving a 100k lb truck with surge load and not wrecking it. I dont drive Downtown Chicago or NYC but I do drive on some of the worst conditions in the county. I live in wny snow and ice is a daily event.hills, yeah I have those too, . I have a spotless, clean CDL. I drove class B triaxle dump truck downtown buffalo all summer so yes I have some cmv city experience.
I'm hardly milking cows and don't really need the insults. I have had no accidents and frankly in some ways what I do is more challenging then driving a large cube and a sissy autoshift or a simple 10 speed. Remember my loads are fluid and unbaffled, the load shifts and slams the entire time you drive.
Don't get me started on farm driveways many of them are really setup for B class straight truck, but I'm driving a semi.
The insults are nessary as I have been doing just fine. This was a simple question, maybe I should do this job for a year and go haul fuel. That is hourly from my understanding.
One more thing a driver with Werner or any other mega is not going to make double what I make not even close. Perhaps a trainer will make quite a but more but not double. I had no desire to ever be a trainer, teaming a student and going to sleep while he or she drives. No way in hell. I know how I drove in the very beginning, not good.Toomanybikes Thanks this. -
Milking cows is not in my job description. I load the milk and drive the truck, the Mexicans do the milking.
-
Also realize what you are saying. Double what I make would be $105k per year. Not many drivers making that kind of money. I'm sure there are some.
Toomanybikes Thanks this.
