Yup, that's what I've been doing when it comes to this journal...Slacking. I'll give it a shot bring it up to date for now.
I was using one truck the entire 6 days I was delivering freight. I didn't have to slip into another one through out the work cycle...thank God. I was scheduled to switch but they couldn't get me back to the DC in time, so they told me to keep it.
I'll give you the pay schedule I work on;
.375 CPM All "Hub" miles. (Odometer)
Arrive (AR) = $6.75 (send macro when arrive at store, vendor, DC)
Hook (HK) = $8.50 (Hook up to a trailer on work assignment)
Stop (ST) = $9.00 (multiple delv or pick up)
Vendor Live Load 1st stop (LL1) = $8.50
Vendor Live Load 2 nd stop (LL2) = $6.25
Unscheduled Time (UT) = $14.00 an hour (anything after 45 minutes at any location)
Layover (LO) = $42.00 (sleeping in the truck)
Chain (CH) = $15.00 ( to install and again when removing chains, if use is desired by the Driver)
+++++++ much more, but these rates will be key to figure my normal weekly pay.
My job has been; start at the DC with a load to a local store. Deliver that loaded trailer to the store and pick up the empty in the dock. From the store with the empty they have 2 choices for my work assignment; send me back to the DC empty and do another store delivery, or go to a vendor and pick up some freight going to my or any other nearby DC. That's it! That's my job. I've only been to 2 other DC's, other than mine, during this entire time with Wal*Mart. I've been to all of the west coast DC's as a Schneider Driver.
My pay for my first week on my own;
Miles = 2490 X .375 cpm = $933.75
AR = 17 X $6.75 = $114.75
HK = 15 X $8.50 = $127.50
LL = 1 X $8.50 = $8.50
UT = 1 X $14.00 = $14.00 + all the time the computer credits to me that I have no clue of??????
LO = 4 X $42.00 = $168.00
That sums up my first week at an estimated total of $1366.50
Once I get the system down and see where I can make more money and reach the max CPM pay in 2 years (.41 cpm) I think I'll be financial A-OKAY!
I made more CPM and did more miles per week at Schneider, but I wasn't paid for things like sleeping in the truck. I was on schedule for $70K as a team driver with Schneider but I think my first 12 months with Wal*Mart should be $60K-$70K as I work my way up and learn the system. Remember, I'm low man on the totem pole at a new company. My experience only got me the job. I now have to start over from mile #1.
I start again in the morning at 0700 out the gate. This is scheduled to be my short week. I am on a flex schedule of 6 days on, 2 days off, then 4 days on, 2 days off.........and so on. I can work more, but not less. I plan on working 5 days when I'm on my 4 day week (need 34 hour restart). When I get my own truck I will bid for the 6 on, 2 off permanent schedule.
