Message:: [QUOTE="Buzzdog, post: 154809, member: 6652"]drivers wife, I explained how the snapshot is calculated towards a drivers certification. I also explained what the numbers are in the Best of the Best. I would really like one of the official TMC office personel to verify it. You are wrong on the daily average theory. The revenue figured used to determine the snapshot is 23&#37; of the weekly average revenue the truck generated. It is all part of the three card monte trucker math game that TMC plays. And as far as the snapshot goes, that is comical also because according to my snapshot I only had 90 points but my fleet manager changed the numbers so I would have 180 points and be paid the higher % because I was staying out and was willing to run hard. He tried to do everything he could to help the situation, but he had no power over TMC taking their cut or hauling cheap freight. As far as my other claims as to what the accessory fees are, the fact that TMC bills based on Rand McNally Practical miles then tells the driver short HHG miles. I can back them up to anyone if you want. Just send me a PM with your email address. There is already 1 person on this thread that can verify what I say. I guess I will have to scan a copy of the certification forumla also to show that you are not factual about that as well. As I have said before, I wish you and your husband the best of luck.  UPDATE: Copied and pasted directly from the certification study guide for the Road Scholar program  As with most performance based pay systems there are several key measurements. In TMC's certification, the key measurements are revenue, miles per gallon and out-of-route. The revenue calculation is based on the productivity of the truck. Specifically, the driver's pay is based upon the revenue generated by his/her truck. So for each pay period, which is Saturday through Friday, the driver is paid a percentage of revenue generated by the truck. The certification revenue number is the revenue to the truck multiplied by 23 percent. Why 23 percent? Because when certification was designed all drivers were paid 23 percent of the revenue.   That says nothing about "daily" average. So you can see, by taking the numbers from the best of the best, or your snapshot, you simply divide by 23% ( .23 for those that slept during math ). Ok that throws out all of your misinformation. You said that his snapshot revenue is $741.06That would show the average WEEKLY revenue generated to the truck is $3222 ( $741.06 / .23 )You said he is paid 27%, so his average gross pay based on revenue is $869.94If he did 5 tarp loads for the week that would be another  $50.Bounce pay would be very limited, only paid if it is over 150 miles (HHG Short Miles) at $0.20/mile. Based on the numbers you have provided, I find it IMPOSSIBLE that he has averaged over $1000 a week GROSS.After all with holdings that you claim he has, I would guess that he is lucky to see $600 a week deposited in the bank account.  I realize this is boardering on a flame but I feel I should give you some advice that was given to me by my grand father. It is better to remain silent and leave the impression of igorance then it is to speak and remove all doubt.  I have only posted facts. I am willing to go so far as to provide the documents to back them up. You have posted misinformation that can only be to the benefit of TMC. I am glad to see that I am not the only one that is suspicious of your motivation. Good luck to you and your husband.[/QUOTE]
