What is the problem with sliding pay scales? Would you rather haul a 100 mile load for the same pay as a 1000 mile load?
I would rather make extra money for those short runs.
Getting charged to use trip pack, transflo etc, especially as a company driver is a load of BS.

In the case of this company they advertise .47 cpm for top pay with 7 years of experience. trips of 500 miles or less is .47 , 500-900 @.41 and trips over 900 @.37
So iif you figure that you haul 10% of your loads at the highest rate and 40% at the next and 50% at the lowest. You will make .3960 for all loads.
Why do these company's do this, because they can't or are too cheap to compete with the better paying companies. And they know that most drivers will not take the time to figure out what they are making for all miles and compare to what they could make somewhere else.
In reality you are not making anything extra by pulling a small number of loads at a higher rate. With 7 years experience one can do alot better than .3960 for all miles driven.
This is one of the reasons that this company has a very bad reputation.
and throw in charging for trip pak and all of the other things that you hear and you get the picture
You do not need to drive for this outfit to figure out that they are not one of the best companies to work for.
