    TLeaHeart....obviously I am new to this so please pardon my ignorant question....are the unpaid miles the miles that were deviated from the direct route?? In other words if its 1000 miles to your destination and your actual mileage is 1050 because you deviated from the route (accident, weather, construction) that would be the reason for not being paid for the extra 50 miles??

    Thanks

    That is part of the unpaid miles...
    The rest is that Stevens pays shortest route miles, as the crow flys...
    So one will always have unpaid miles, and Stevens expects their company drivers to average 7 to 8%. good question.

    Aprils numbers
    total paid dispatched miles; 12060, empty 778, loaded 11282
    Actual miles driven on those dispatched miles; 12637
    Unpaid miles, 577 for a 4.8% variance.
    Fuel Mileage for the month, 6.67 mpg
    Cost per mile for fuel, $0.179

    Miles paid in the month of april 9757
    Gross Pay, $14,084 or $1.44 per mile
    Net pay, $2,484 or $0.293 per mile

    Still an acceptable month for me. fuel cost was up, more rain, heavy loads, and a DPF filter acting up.

    Good luck... Let me know if I can help you any. And dont second guess. Just do it! While there isnt a perfect company out there, I think that Stevens will be just as good as any of the others. And much nicer/well maintained equipment too.

    Thanks for the encouragement...when your changing your lifestyle..its good to make good decisions...hit me up via pm when your done with school...because you'll probably be done before I leave I have a couple questions that I would rather not post in a forum platform...God knows theres enough people that thrive on raining on parades..Just want real life answers and not pissed off or opinionated ones.
    Thanks
