Millis chat room

Yes he does. Very good guy.

 

I'm very certain you got canned for a legitimate reason and now hold a grudge. The trash you spew and personal attacks are not only lies but down right cruel. If your purpose is to discredit Millis you are failing miserably. What was it you were fired for? Drug test failure? Accidents? Late deliveries? Or just a poor attitude? I'm guessing all of the above.

 

Talk about spewing ########...you're last line of this comment is exactly what you are ding...guessing. This whole coment is a personal attack you hypocrite...you need to practice what you preach.

 

I mentioned in a previous post that I I would post the new pay scales that were emailed to me by Millis when I returned home and could access my computer. This web site will not allow the file to be uploaded via the upload file option and when I cut and pasted the open file it did not display in a readable way.

I will post a very brief summary here. I suggest anyone who wants to get a copy of the pay scale contact Millis directly.

OTR Straight Pay
0 years experience - .42
10 years experience -.52
Basically .01 per mile raise every year

OTR per diem
0 years experience - .35
10 years experience .46

Georgia Regional Straight pay
.0 years experience - .40
10 years experience -.50

Georgia Regional Per Diem
0 years experience- .34
10 years experience - .45

Georgia Regional also has performance pay for hitting certain per week mileage. If you hit these mileage levels you will be paid the corresponding bonus cents per mile for all miles that week.

1750 miles+ .01
2000 miles+ .02
2350 miles+ .03
2750 miles+ .04
3000 miles+ .05

 

Had a conversation with payroll the other day. GA regional milage bonus doesn't start until 2750 on straight pay. I called because the milage bonus was not on my paycheck. Also found out vacation pay is not grandfathered in. So all wrapped up, if you are on straight pay you didn't get a raise even though the base pay went up. They are basically forcing you to switch to per diem, which you can't do until your anniversary.

They also didn't have a valid answer for why ga regional is paid less than otr even though every other regional fleet is paid more than otr. They tried to tell me something about averaging out the pay so everyone gets at least a .01 raise but paying the guys who run less miles less money and paying the guys who run more miles more money just makes the pay gap even larger. Why would anyone even switch to regional with pay like this?

They also told me the milage bonus for ga regional per diem was still .03 at 2000 miles and so on just like it used to be, but that didn't sound right. I really don't think they even know what they should be paying us anymore.

Question about electronic logs...Do they start recording the very instant you move the truck?

For example, say you sleep overnight at a shipper or receiver...Will the system force you to show driving time just to move 500 feet and put your truck in a door? Just curious.

 

Depends on company. Company I'm with now, and Millis too, in your hypothetical you'd be fine to stay in sleeper and roll around and back into dock. However if you are logged off duty say for example after checking into guard shack, and roll to other side building drop your trailer and then roll over to your loaded trailer, and take off exactly at 30mins for your break once you got on road it'd knock that movement off your drive time and thus eliminating the 30mins break you just took.

 

Something I can say with experience - if you are on your break and have to move your truck, turn the truck off and then on again once you've stopped. It only records movement after the last time the truck was started.

 

Also keep in mind that it doesn't automatically put you on the drive line until you've reached 25mph, but time it records that will be from the moment you started moving. It used to be that it only counted from the moment you hit 25, but the Dot made all the elog companies fix it.
