They just pay differently. Personally.... I preferred getting paid the way CFI does it. Tends to smooth out the bumps in pay. Other than the Army, every job I ever had outside of construction....many years ago paid me every two weeks.
Here's how it works: The pay periods are 1st to 15th, 16th to last day of month. You get paid 4 days after end of pay period. There is no one week delay in getting paid. ALSO, what is important to keep in mind is that YOU ARE PAID FOR EACH AND EVERY MILE YOU ARE DISPATCHED WITHIN THE PAY PERIOD. If you are dispatched 7000 miles between 0001 on the 1st and 2359 on the 15th.... you will be paid for 7000 miles. Even if the last dispatched load is not delivered until the 17th. It is the same for all pay periods. I used direct deposit....and my money was ALWAYS in my account by the end of the 4th day.

A driver tells me that they can screw you over on your pay like that. What do you think?
And that driver who told you that "needs to extract his cranium from rectal defilade". Simply put....he has his head up his ass.
I drove for CFI for
SEVEN years, and this is important:
Not once was there ever a mistake in my pay!! In fact...because of the method they pay by....I knew ahead of time how much my paycheck was going to be!! I never had to wonder if some doofus back in payroll opened and processed a trip pak. The reason you can figure your gross paycheck in advance is because CFI always goves you the "paid practical miles" for EVERY dispatch. There is no guessing about it. Also, if you are paid for anything else like detention or if you assisted in an unload....it will be paid then as well. They reimburse ALL tolls, to include the FL Turnpike, they have OK Pikepass, IPass/EZPass, and PrePass in every truck. All reimbursables are paid quickly, and I never had a problem there either.
As far as the honesty in the pay system, or for that matter...CFI in general....they are as honest as the century is long. Anyone who tells you they were cheated or lied to.....is full of :dung: and has a drawer full of t-shirts with this on the front: :withstupid:
If you want further information that is factual, blunt and honest where CFI is concerned....you can search this forum using my handle and CFI and you will get alot of information.
