    Same as my last company. About 75%. Salary means no tarp pay though. No detention pay. No layover pay. It’s simpler, but not more money. Just more predictable. You just do whatever they need within reason. Now Hours of Service are my friends!

    Exactly lol. If your time is so precious, I guess this board owed everyone. Some more than others. :)
