Question about % vs. mileage and revenue to truck

I just did some figuring real quick like and I had a couple questions. When you get your snapshot that shows your revenue to the truck, for example my last snapshot was $677, is that per day based on a five day week or did your truck average that dollar amount per day for seven days of the week? I'm trying to figure out how much I would have made on percentage as opposed to mileage which I am currently on. If it's based on a 5 day week with my last snap shot I would be making 28% which is good for $189.56 per day for a five day week of $947.80. On a 7 day average I would be making $1326.92. Now I'm on mileage and being only 3 months deep into my own truck I'm making $.31/mile and my gross per week averaged $694 for this time frame. The mileage pay that I supplied included all tarp pay and stop offs, and hazmat pay if you added that onto the % pay I'm trying to calculate it would total somewhere a little over $300 for that time frame or another $75/wk. So basically it looks like I would have made anywhere from $325/wk to $700/wk more on % this past month. Can anyone with experience at TMC tell me if my math is goofy or am I really on the losing end to the tune of several hundred dollars a week? This certification period was a good one, and I'm sure the two are going to be closer this certification but I'm pretty sure it's going to be lower again.

 

I honestly don't think it matters a whole lot which pay system you decide to run with, I'm absolutely convinced you will be dispatched whatever pays you the least. Not every load, but as a general rule. If this figure is on a 7 day week ouch... Eckz you start at $.30/mile after 6 months you get bumped to $.32, after a year you get bumped to $.38 and then a penny a year after that until you hit $.41. I'm at $.31 because I got a half a cent for low OOR and a half a cent for high MPG (6.17 on last cert, fleet average is 5.7). One thing about mileage pay is that the ONLY two things that really affect your pay outside of time in service is your mileage and OOR. Percentage pay is affected by everything.

 

That's not always the case, if you are a mileage guy on the low end of the pay scale like me you get some nice runs. I made a 1300 mile dispatched run this past weekend and I'm knee deep in a 3100 dispatched mile run right now. Those are not really common though.

 

I know what my rolling revenue is because it's on my monthly certification, last one was $677. What I was wondering was if they base that "weekly" average on a Sun-Mon week or a Mon-Fri week which would be a 40% bump in earnings. I would like to go to TQM just to get a few things fleshed out, but right now isn't a good time for me personally. In a month or so I'll ask, I'd like to get it done before the August switchover deadline but I don't see that happening.
