Yeah, there ya' go.
That'd be a fine place for you to work, Stan.
You'd fit in real good there. :rofl:

 

LOL! You a funny guy there J-C-F-M!!! Seriously....He needs to move to Boston.......You need to take him under your wing and teach him how to be a "union" driver!


I don't pull trailers that are rectangular shaped....didn't you know that?? :clap:

 

Not only do I believe that, but I also believe that there is a group that represents the trucking industry to Rand-McNally that pays RM to falsely state that two cities are closer together each year in their software. Can I prove it? No, but that doesn't mean I don't believe it, especially when it happens so frequently to so many truckers. Cities with no construction having taken place in their cities to expand the city limits and that have had no route change in the same year either, suddenly becoming xx miles closer?? Umm... let's just say there's something definitely not kosher there.

For MANY companies, the QUALCOMM would go sqawking like crazy as soon as you deviate from their "accepted route" and demand you report to your fleet manager right away EVEN IF you have cleared your route with him/her prior to deviating from their designated route.

??? You think it is LEGAL to route a truck the shortest possible miles for 4-wheelers when those roads might be impassable to trucks??

You'll rarely find a company that is going to explain their pay formula to you, except in the most vague terms. For them to say they BASE, or DERIVE, their miles paid on PC-Miler is vague unless you're one of the types that believe every word that spills from the lips of politicians or FAUX News. If that's the case, then there's no help for you in the first place.:eek2:

 

Agreed. HOWEVER.... how are you going to know if the company is telling you the truth and giving you the full percentage agreed to?

I suppose, in the end, what really matters is that you get paid what you think is fair. But, that's going to vary from driver to driver.

 

If you are working on percentage then you are entitled to see the rate confirmation for each load.

 

One SMALL advantage to the companies using PC Miler or HHMG...is when you're doing your log, SUBTRACT 10% from your miles driven that day and bump up your average speed as much as you possibly can...you'll be able to "gain a little" in the long run.

 

You may not want to do that, Jonathon51. There is software available that can match your route with the posted speed for that road and match it to your logs. :hellno:
