which pay scale should i chose at Millis?

I was on perdiem /practical. 3 weeks paid vacation and quarterly bonuses of AT LEAST $500 were enough proof for me.

 

Your being paid LESS cpm for per diem and ultimately losing about $3k a year all that for an extra week vacation, there no benefit to you unless your dodging alimony or a judgment against you.

Although Millis does offer I would say a "fair" compensation for going per diem, it still benefits them far more than it does yourself. The way to really go is Non per diem/ practical in most cases. Spend a few hours with a tax advisor and find out which is the best option for you situation is my advice.

 

ah yes but you know who gets laid off first? the non perdiem people. because they are not saving the company money in tax breaks lol

 

They are running 4 schools and have constant trucks open and are trying like hell to get bigger so they can get more lucrative accounts .... no one is getting laid off there ... not a big enough concern to make me go per diem anyway.

 

Here is a decent thread with some helpful insight on this issue as well. ( Now I don't know exactly what Knight pays, gives in return for per diem etc. ) but it has some insightful information from some users that seem to know how it works.

I hope this statement is meant as a joke LOL

 

It must have been - no lay offs at Millis that I am aware of. Atleast in the OTR side. Cant speak for the Regional side.

 

that is what lol means people.

 

If you do the math, you lose .07 per mile and over a year you can lose around 10,000.
