Default GTI paying HHG mileage now.

Just heard from a driver for Gordon. They have changed from paying Practical Miles to HHG miles. Heard of any other companies doing the same switch?

I've never heard of a company going backwards in mileage from Practical to HHG. This results in about an 8% paycut for the drivers. Good way to save money for the company without cutting down on the loads and allows them to lower rate quotes I guess but I would not be overly happy if I heard about it.

Dosnt GTI run mostly interstate point-to-point? If so, the mileage might not be that much different in the overall scheme but I still wouldnt be that happy.

That is strange. I guess their ads can now read "We now pay HHG miles". That should get people signing up in droves.
