Your experience in "payscales" appears to be limited.... Not much to understand about USX's payscales....more miles to the run = less cpm per mile. Nothing tricky about that. More miles, more the driver gets "screwed" and the more profit the company makes... nothing tricky about that.
And when you stop to consider its paid as HHG short miles...its a royal shafting :shock: :? There's alot wrong with that.... :x
To someone looking in from the outside it is weird. Paid per load, per trip. Most trips given to newbies are 300-400 miles, paid at .35 cpm. The rate of pay doesn't go down unless the trip is 900+, in which case the pay rate sucks a little.
Yup, the payrate does "suck", and it even sucks at their 35 cpm rate... since its HHG short miles, so either way it just "sucks". I guess you think a "shafting" at a couple of cpm more is just a little less painful.....

And as far as my experience in payscales being limited, duh. I'm a rookie. You seem to be another old timer who thinks they know everythign there is to know about everything.
No, you're wrong....and there is a significant "error" in your thought process... I am not an old timer who thinks he knows everything, and I am not arrogant enough to even begin thinking that. I simply know what I know, and I limit my comments to what I know. That which I know nothing about, I keep my mouth shut. Discretion is the better part of valor. You may wish to embrace the thought.

And someone like me who is new is a complete fool.
If that is your claim to fame, and a mantle you choose to wear.... then so be it. But if you think that USX's pay schedule is a good thing,..... uh, you are somewhat validating the claim you made above.

That's ok though, most of your senior driver friends are no different than you. (and people wonder why most of us usually keep our radios off)
Ummm, I find my humor in your "questionable" musings... since you know nothing of me, nor do you have a clue as to who my social circle is comprised of.... I think if you actually spent a little time reading my past posts.... I think it more than possible that you would feel foolish about your allegations toward me. Along with keeping your CB off, I might suggest that until you aware of a bit more fact....than you apparently posess.... that you keep a lid on your musings..... lest you make a fool of yourself.
Since you fired first.... Might I say that I suspect that you have and frequently wear a t-shirt with this on the front and back:
