    Ok, So here it is short and quick.

    I have been driving for this company for about 1 year total, As of late they are using Mapquest for directions. I did a run from Seekonk, MA to Bardstown Ky. They are paying me for 955 miles. If you put those locations into mapquest you will get 958 or so miles. I want to know if it's even leagal to do this.

    Another question I have is if I run a non toll road becasue the company does not want me on it, Do they have the right to pay me by the toll road? Like I-80 in NY over the GWB?

    Then, I fuel in OH in youngstown, If they put me running down I-81 in PA to take the tolls to make the route shorter and DOT does a audit who gets screwed?

    Lastly, If anyone has a PC miler program can you run the bardstown to seekonk for me on "Practial miles" and tell me the milage please.

    If I am getting mega screwed can someone point me in the right dirrection please. :biggrin_25525:

    PC Miler gives me 948.3 practical miles.
    Delorme Street Atlas shows 946.7

    I don't know the legalities but most companies pay that way so if it wasn't legal you would have to think they would have been spanked long before now.
