Yes. 12 cpm of the above is considered per diem (non taxed). The mileage pay increases as you gain years of service at the company. The above that Redtwin mentioned is the starting cpm. I’m one cpm higher than that since I’ve been here long enough to be in the second bracket. I think the third bracket kicks in after 10 years, but don’t quote me on that. I would need to look at the pay raise notice they sent out last August to confirm.

 

I don’t know of any right off hand other than what Redtwin mentioned, but I’ve also never made it a point to search for dedicated routes. I’m sure there are some throughout the company.

Milk from the Clovis area to HEB in San Antonio used to be a big one for a lot of the Clovis drivers, but I don’t think we do that anymore (could be wrong). I heard guys talk about dedicated water runs in Florida and California, but that was 3 or 4 years ago. I don’t know if that’s still active or not. Most of the drivers I see and visit with are at the same facilities I’m at because they run OTR like me. With that being the case, local and regional things don’t get brought up much in conversation.

 

We deliver in Murfreesboro a lot. It’s a drop/hook one exit down from the Pilot. There is another customer in the same area we haul to from Laurel, MD but I haven’t been to that one in a while. The Murfreesboro loads originate in McAllen and Florida. We’re also active in Memphis. A lot of yeast loads originate there and go to California. I’ve also done some Memphis to Houston loads in the past.

Most of us who don’t live near a terminal find our own place to park when we go home. I park at the truck stop in San Antonio when I’m off work. If you live near a regular IRT customer who has a large property, you can probably work something out with them. I’ve heard of people doing that, too.
