Well with TMC I have come up with fewer miles for a week, also in the northeast involving two buchanan NY wallboard loads, a Lowes Westfield run, Something short out of Owens Corning in Kearny NJ, and something else short that I can't remember at the moment, totalling a whopping 1508 dispatched miles incluting deadhead bounce, but with the percentage pay plan I earned over $900 that week. It really sucked that I was 650 miles from the house Friday morning and it felt like work doing that in one day after goofing off all week. :lol:

 

Up there in the Great White North you need all the $$ you can get for oil for heat. Ha Ha LOL.... I prefer the warm climate, if it means less $$ I'll live with it. I do agree with the idea of being paid for everything. For detention, I get paid by the hour after the first 2 hours. Just recently I was asking myself, "why don't I get paid for the first two hours? And for fueling? And by the hour for tarping? I'm working for the company all that time." I accepted it as a company standard. But now that I hear others do get paid for all that stuff, I'm going to have to rethink my acceptable employment standards. Thanks.
