Pay Problems?

some companies pay the actual miles driven from point a to point b, other companies pay zip code to zip code, some pay practical miles, miles that are figured between to points by a computer program....it is best to ask any perspective employer which method they use to compute pay, and to keep track of the miles you drive so that you can be sure your not being shorted.

 

The companys that pay zip code to zip are the 1's to look out for because you will get paid for 700 miles and they'll give you routing for 876 which means you get shorted 176 miles.

 

at the very least,get practical long miles,not practical short miles or house hold guide which is zip to zip. A few companies pay actual hub miles on yuor hub or dash speedometer,if they pay you this way ,check your speedo on a highway mile marker to milemarker, truck companies try to cheat you on this alot,,check it if you are paid off hub miles.

 

are some pretty good realities but it is just plain facts you are probably going to get paid for about 90% of your miles it is normal not right mind you but normal to loose 10% of your miles they take those for fueling getting lost ect.. what ever the reason we are never paid for all driven miles nor all the work done...

 

NannyB,we are pro drivers we don't get lost..LOL, did i ever metchen how much i hate new jersey?:smt023

 

i was shortened 400 miles by westside transport one time. it only happened once. i left shortly afterwards and started running local.

 

I could tell of the time I went south on 95 instead of North is a rain storm and was at the bottom of South Carolina thinking I should be crossing the VA line feel dumb but live and let live glad we didn't have satilites back then LOL I know there are good and bad company hope the one you have now is much better

 

oh yeah paid by the hour/local is the way to go.

 

When I worked for Wenger I had a terrible time with my Qualcomm....the darn thing would not work period after I left the yard......It developed this difficulty after it reported me for doing 139 MPH. Very strange, quit working as soon as we left the yard and worked just fine when we pulled into the yard. Lots of time in the shop, replaced the Qualcomm twice.......just couldn't get it to work.......

Just had to make sure the fuses found their way back in when I pulled into the yard......
