Waiting for the landfill to open, they're on central time, and i come from eastern time, so i typically get there by 2 am, and they don't open till 6 am. After paperwork and all is wrapped up, i set my little bed up, and usually knock back off by 3 am, life of a trash hauler

Ummm - again - I don't get paid by the hour - I get paid a percentage of what the load pays. So, whether the load pays the truck $10,000 or $500, I get paid the same percentage, whether it takes 1 hour to do the load or 5 days.

Sorry, I can't keep track of everyone. You're an owner?

That's your truck on your authority, correct? I don't have any problem with that. You got to decide whether to take the load or to sit on your rear-end for a few days too, right? You get to decide how your income is apportioned just as any business owner should. You could have said .23 to you and .50 to repair and replacement. Congratulations and I wish you more of it.
I think it's very important to make the distinction between "Employee Owners" and "Employee Drivers". As an employee driver, I don't get to choose if and when the wheels turn. Using your example, you get to decide if it's .73/mile or .53 or .83. Mine is .37 (subject to some variables) and the only way my pay can go is down and 99 times out of 100, it goes down due to the inefficiencies and ineptitude of others. My point is simple: If I were being paid fairly for all of my time, that would create a strong financial incentive to eliminate I+I and there would therefor be a lot less I+I.

Wow. Now if you can back that up with at least 2 solid factual reasons, you might sound intelligent.
