Thats what im talking about ON DUTY. When i worked on tugboats they paid a day rate of 225/day for 12hrs. The other 12hrs you got nothing. I agree when your off duty sleeping, eating, shower etc. you shouldnt be paid.

So... if I'm making about "that" now for the same or LESS hours, am I overpaid or underpaid in your eyes? I went to CA and back from NC this week and logged about 38 hours. Grossed over $1100... about $29.50/hr. Was gone from Wed 10 p.m. till Mon 4 a.m. Spent one night in a motel at boss's expense.

If you don't like sitting at a dock or on property waiting... try team driving. If you're a solo.... stop trying to stay close to home as a "regional" and go coast to coast. There are THOUSANDS of combinations to be had with a CDL. Find one that fits your needs.
