    OtaKen; We get paid PC Miller SHORT miles. Check with your DM. There are 2 problems with that. The first is obvious, however the second problem is your fuel plan does not match SHORT miles. In both causes you are usually running more miles, using up more of your 11 hours and not getting paid for it. I don't know about you but that gets under my skin a bit.

    I'm on paper logs. At Heyl just be because you are OTR does not mean you will get miles. I'd ask the mileage question and see what you get back from the drivers. Of course it all depends on how many miles you need to run per week. OTR drivers all start at $.36 per mile. Experience does not matter.
     
    mgt1085 Thanks this.

    I was with heyl in 2010 They broke a promise made to me in per hire. I had a pre planned vacation a (cruise) thay sad I would get home for my planned vacation. When time came, 2 days out they said they needed me to deliver in Jacksonville on a Monday then go home. My cruise left on Sunday. My choice was to blow the cruise or quit, I dropped the trailer at Zypherhills and quit! Now to be fair I must say they were a good company, I got loads, good equipment and friendly staff. most of all they did not trash my DAC. They listed me as Resigned with Notice. Perhaps they felt bad or perhaps they are just honest. Anyways besides our vacation issue they did good by me. Just my honest post!
