I think you're right. That IS good that it is self-sustaining.

 

I don't know the history of PC-Miler, I think all they do is calculate true miles from zipcode to zipcode. It was someone's bright idea to use it for trucking, and that is where the mistake is.

We have much better tools and technology now, but good luck getting the system to switch over now and pay more.

 

Thanks, I am very familiar with excel. But, When I was calculating your numbers, they wern't coming out quite right. That's why I asked for your formula. thanks again.

 

Zipcode to Zipcode is BS. That leaves alot of real-estate unaccounted for.

 

I had the company tell me that my dead head was only 7 miles. I checked on the gps and it was 42 miles. By the computer program it was 41 miles.

I called them on it and they said it was how they paid and it should only require 15 minutes driving to get there on the log.

 

I was responding to Pharm's ending response where he essentially apologized for not kicking #####. That's all.

 

Zipcode to zipcode there is the root of the evil rip off. That steady 6%OOR average that cuts the bottom line on every trip.

 

I had a scale in MT write me a speed violation on a level 3 inspection based on the zip-to-zip mileage, which was longer than the actual point-to-point mileage (by which my average speed was less than the speed limit).

 

It makes sense to throw out big numbers that are inaccurate. They pay less and you think you are getting a deal. The longer I am in business the more used car salesman I see at every junction.

 

That would suck.

I would have fought the violation. After all, the address I can find in my computer between the two would support it.
