Actually my company uses PC Miler so the routes are truck routes. Now that is the practical miles part. In addition, they pay Hub miles so scales, fuel, accidents etc .. are paid for as long as you account for the miles. They do not pay strict hub miles so your trip to Grandma's house will not be paid for ...
They do pay a 1 - 3 cents less than some other companies so I guess it all works out in the long run.
Would you rather be paid .40 HHG .37 Practical or .35 Hub .. Oh I can guess ... .54 Hub .... :wink:
