Ok I posted this question in one of the old how much is the pay threads but looks like nobody is reading those so here we go

PASTED

so looks like everyone is saying OD pays 60+ cpm but i was just offered linehaul position and they offered me 57 cpm! am i getting a shaft or is that a normal starting rate? linehaul manager said it's not a set shift it's pretty much some crazy 24/7 on call type of deal which to me sounds like there's no chance to plan anything around it because they expect me to finish out my shift and go home and more or less turn around again in 10 hours and come back IF there's work if not i could be home for 15 20 hours awake and then go to bed and get a call 2 minutes later saying hey report to work in 1 hour. call me crazy but what kind of a shift is that? i'm in utah

talked to another driver yesterday he's been doing the same thing since the beginning of the year and he's starting to burn out. he's in the same boat wants to work not scared of work but he still doesn't have a set shift so looks like it'll be a while before i can expect to have anything set. i don't care about days off or start time as long as i can set up some kind of work/home life schedule. i'm gonna tuff it out for as long as i can because i had my sight set on the OD or UPS and OD called first. as for why i didn't go with saia even tho they offered more money at the start no raises, less vacation, front and driver facing cameras, you back under the trailer harder they jump and investigate, can't use phone in the truck even w/ the blue tooth they want you to pull over to answer or make the call pretty much to it sounded like micro managing there are some other things too that i can't remember right now......i guess it could be growing pains we'll see what happens down the road. for example today i hit my 10 hours off 6 hours ago and still no call, i checked in before my 10 was up was told we'll call you in couple of hours and guess what no call yet
