    I don't work for Crete or for Shaffer, but ####. If your paychecks are consistently like that, then your average net is about $100 more than my average gross. That is #### good money on W2 with full benefits (healthcare, 401k employer match, etc etc).

    The money is definitely not bad over at Shaffer. if you can put up with their idle policy and lack of maintenance, mostly on trailers, this is a high paying company driver job for 1 years exp.

    $1400 bonus from Q4 on one of these stubs.

    Holy #### that's $2417 gross on average! That's higher than the the highest dedicated bid runs that the Estes linehaul division had!

    I know they start out at $0.65 CPM per mile, what's their top out pay?

    I'm assuming their idle policy is very restrictive unless the temps are at low or high extremes.

    Yeah I like to read Snackbar's adventures so I pop in here time to time. I don't know the exact Shaffer policy but I know that opti-idle sounds 100% absolutely awful and makes me appreciate my ThermoKing APU very, very much lol.

    Each truck seems to have different temps set for idle. Like mine won't idle unless the outside temp is below 15 or over 90.

    It is also set to monitor petal usage so putting something on the throttle won't work and it will eventually shutdown.

    For otr they top out at .70 CPM as of now. 4 cpm safety bonus if you hit 28-29000(?) miles in a quarter without hitting ####. I’ve looked around on their website and regional fleets start out at .70 in the west and Midwest. North east regional starting at .75. Way too many different things going on to put it all on here.

    Sorry for my lack of exact figures here, but in the summer it would have to read mid 90s for the truck to run continuously. I have not figured out how to run it in the cold… but I just crank the bunk heater up all the way if it’s single digits and below…. And well I still have yet to freeze into an ice cube. Just a major annoyance and hazard.

    What I hate about the idle crap is, if you're sitting at a long redlight, in gear, parking brakes off, the stupid thing still tries to shut down. Totally f'g stupid. If I pick up a trailer with a low tire, it takes a while for the auto-inflate system to air it up before you can roll with it to a shop to get it fixed, so you have to either keep bumping the throttle or the over-ride button(or do like some drivers do, ignore the bright white warning light and let it fill the low tire while they drive, and f-up a repairable tire). And no way could you ever air up a tractor tire with your glad-hand air hose, so mine became the shop hose at the house. If they want to pay for a road service call to fix a low tire, fine by me. It doesn't take many of those to negate all the savings they get from reducing my ability to idle.
