They must ban "cpm" and "piecerate" pay

I'm not understand how percentages doesn't keep with inflation
You're right my CPM doesn't keep up with inflation, my yearly pay raise beats inflation!

 

I think you just copied and pasted an article cuz you don't seem to know anything about what you're talking about and your hourly plan companies can just pay minimum wage

 

OP can move to CA and be happy there as a company driver. US government can’t regulate everything because it has to compete with other governments globally.

 

CPM does not pay all of your time. A companies job is to reduce cost and maximize profit, if they can pass the cost of some labor over to a willing driver why wouldn’t they.
1. Fueling
2. Pre-trip
3. Post-trip
4. Paperwork
5. Shop time
6. Break down
7. Waiting to load/off load
8. Any time less your time available on log. Your job is to drive theirs is to keep you driving, any time you sit with hours available should be on them.

All of these things take time and “Time is Money”. Some of the better companies do pay but not all and #8 none pay that I know of. Should a dispatcher be off the clock while they wait for a shipper to get back to them? Then why should a driver wait for free?

 

That's why smart ones pick the jobs that do pay that.

 

I think they see how much work it and think another trucking company must have better deal. The trucking companies don't tell the bad side and of the job. Like you only get 34 hours off. That their idae of the weekend. I been home on Sunday and had to leave to make my delivery. You get home late Sunday night and have leave Monday morning. Everyone just see that new 2020 your/me driving and see the $1,000 minimum pay guarantee. Then find out you work 70 hours in 6 days. You make more then the guaranteed pay because they never stop running you and the truck till you run out of hours. That get old 14 hours days fast, I think

 

I’ve yet to hear of a driver being pulled from their home and forced to drive for someone. Every job I’ve ever had I had to fill out a application. Every job had a set wage.
If you accept a job at a company and feel that you’re not being paid what you are worth who’s fault is that?

 

Not this job.

Wheels aint turning, aint making money, thats how they starve bad actors out. Simply do not load them however long until they quit. I won a formal case against a employer for that twice.

 

The fact that you trust the government to regulate in your interest gives away your youth and naïveté.
