Question about dispatched miles vs actual miles

My advice is QUIT!You are being robbed.I get paid practical miles and it never differs more than 20 miles this way or another in a week. -7% IS A LOT dude.
Lets see,3000 miles a week ×.07=210 miles ×52=10920 miles.
As you can see you drive FOR FREE almost 11 000 miles a year!How does it feel man?I am asking because I would never put up with this.Never.
Are you an immigrant by any chance?

 

Meh... Doesn't really matter if the pay is decent. I.E. I'd rather run short miles for .45 rather than practical for .38 Depends on the routes and regions you run also.

 

IT DOES MATTER.If I get paid PER MILE it means that I get paid PER MILE.Not per mile -7%.It doesn't matter if it's 38 cpm,45cpm or 65.
I would fight for those miles or quit regardless of pay UNLESS it would be truly EXTRAORDINARY pay.And I don't think OP is paid star trucker cpm.

 

I view it as what I bring home from point A to point B. I'm paid short miles, Dallas to Baton Rouge pays me about 190$. If someone were only paid .38 on practical they would only make about 175$.

 

Sup, sup, sup, super mouth. We all drive over the paid miles, PERIOD. If trucker quit because of that, they're wouldn't be any OTR drivers out there.

 

Who is "WE"? This "we" sure don't includes me because if I was missing 100 miles I would demand it to corrected in the next pay period.Been there,done that.

Oh ok.So my paycheck is $2000 .Pretty decent isn't it? It should be $2140 though ,but you know what, $2000 is decent so you can keep this $140.
NOT HAPPENING!

 

? I don't think you understand... A company paying short miles at .40/mile would pay exactly the same per week as a company paying .37/mile practical if they ran the same route etc. Who do you run for? Even brokers don't pay "by the mile", they just have a set rate from point A to point B.

 

If you drove 100 miles over the paid miles, YOU DRIVE OUT OF ROUTE, and the excess is on you.

 

I run for EE company out of Chicagoland.I am paid practical and over a 6 months period miles on my paystub were only once lower (30 miles diff) than miles on my record (I write down mileage for every run).And it differed only because I took interstate instead of US road (same time but 30 miles longer).This I can forgive.
And why should I care what brokers pay or not pay for???I don't work for brokers and it's none of my bussines what miles the company I work for agreed with brokers.

 

What's your mileage rate and benefit package?
