Useful Info On Unpaid Hhv Miles

Please do keep us updated. I work for a company that pays airline miles, but somehow does not provide wings for our trucks. So we tend to get shorted a lot. If anything class action were ever started I am guessing that most of our drivers would be willing to support it.

 

Have a question here as I have not started driving yet, But I know it will affect me soon? Instead of paying the correct miles won't the brokers just start paying flat rate? Just trying to figure this thing out.

 

When you get paid by the mile, it's pretty much a flat rate already.
Everyone knows what the book pays & that's what they go by.
Some go with Rand Macnally programs & these are probably better but still lacking to some degree.

Ideally, you'd get paid for your hub miles or hourly.
The hub would be the least expensive, technologically simplest & accurate answer.
Hourly would require some kind of "baby sitting" technology to make sure you were progressing at a reasonable rate.

Personally I would vote for the hub miles.
That keeps me in control & I wouldn't have to feel "baby sitted".

 

Thanks for the info.

 

More than 125 in a single day Most/many are driving gold colored trucks based out of MO now.

I hate "class action" ambulance chasers. But do see the need for them.

Bet you didn't see that in any of the "Trucking" rags that sit at the truck stops.
