Wage Agreements

How about washer fluid, grease, bulbs, coolant, hoses, filters and on and on. That stuff always comes up when on the road.

Saying you can take whatever roads you want whenever you want is pretty much a red flag. Especially when asking for hub miles. If you asked for practical miles, and allowed a route deviation of 50 miles or so to get around traffic or weather. Makes more sense.

Well, I don't think i'm asking for anything out of the ordinary. I'm asking for detention pay, breakdown pay, and to be paid for all miles - loaded or not.

I think mostly that's standard except for the big companies like Swift, CRST, etc.

The only other thing I included was a section about letting me decide what routes to take on the road. I don't want my boss shorting me on my check because he thinks I shouldn't have gone 50 miles out of my way to get around a wreck, traffic or having to chain up. And I don't wanna have to call him every time I wanna do it, either.

Having had some experience in Small Claims court and with small contracts, I think it's usually better to call these "agreements". When you label something a "contract" the court assumes you are more of a professional and will hold you to a stricter standard for contract law. Also, any time you want to make sure that something MUST be done in an agreement use the word "Shall" instead of "May" or "Will". "Shall" is a legal term that is understood to leave no room for mistunderstanding or deviation. Just make sure it works for you, not against you!

Hub miles isn't standard from what I've been reading. Most companies use practical or HHG miles.
