    Cowpie, with all due respect. Pulling at 95 plus fsc, you will never end up at the same place. I would bet my fuel discounts are as good, if not better than any out there. Any one can see our fuel discounts at mercertown.com. I get all three same benefits that you mention that these mileage contracts typically pay, except for plates and tolls. Plates and tolls add up to a few pennies a a mile. I can't justify giving up dollars to save pennies. The reimbursed for dead head doesn't apply because when I talk pay per mile, I'm using my odometer miles, NOT short computer miles. This would also include things like out of route to the parts store. Even the 900 Bob tail miles to run home for the thanksgiving weekend. If we ran the same miles over the course of a year the difference would be in the neighborhood of fifty thousand dollars. That won't actually ever happen tho cause I like my time at home. Spent well over six months there this year. That simply would not be possible making 95 plus fsc.

For some reason I really hate the idea of some company trying to drill holes in my truck to install a stupid comm system. Company I work for now is small and doesn't use any of that stuff...just email/text/phone. It's cool.
