They say the only dumb question is the question that is never asked. So as silly as I feel asking this, I am going to ask anyways.

I know and understand the Practical cpm, Hub, and the percentage pays........but what is the difference (if any) between HHG, McNally, and PcMiller??

 

Not much really.

Mcnally and Pcmiler are simply programs used to calculate miles and they can be set up to do it by HHG.

HHG has been the standard for a long time and is calculated from post office to post office in any given city by the shortest route.

 

ok....I sort of thought hat but was not really sure. Thanks

 

The difference is HUGE and mileage differentials are the biggest shell game in trucking. Pay on HHG/Short miles. Bill the customer on Practical or truck miles. This is also big with brokers. Using certain miler softwares you can run "short" miles or truck practical miles, then the broker wants to pay the truck on "short" miles, bill the customer practical miles and pocket the difference. That is why I say the difference is HUGE.

 

I always run the miles myself before I take a load.

Damn nice laugh from me on that one....nice

 

Practical Route Miles is more closer to the miles you actually drive. The difference between PC & Household movers guide is generally 4-7% difference. The further east the greater the difference.

Good luck.
