List honest companies paying practical miles
HHG miles cheats drivers, period. Companies need to estimate miles with software but there is plenty of software available providing accurate estimates of trip lengths. On this thread, I'd like to give it up for the companies honest enough to pay Practical Miles.
I'll start, two off the top of my head: - Perkins Specialized Transportation (O/O outfit) - CFI Who are the others? |
I believe all of the Acklie Companies do (Crete Shaffer and Hunt). Millis pays both HHG and Practical. Of course the practical is lke 3 cents/mile less. :shock: Barr Nunn also does. Gordon pays by "routed miles". Anybody else know of more?

Practical Miles cheat drivers to dont it??? am not a OTR driver so i really dont know??? i dont see why company's dont pay hub miles. or a flat rate a day.
|
WTF double post :twisted:
|
If they paid hub miles, then everybody would get lost or take a lot of side trips. If they paid flat rate, then everyone would drive too slow. Imagine getting pulled over for 'driving too slow' though... :lol: :lol: Everything nowadays, is a numbers game. Gotta have the numbers, and they gotta be in a book someplace as reference.

I didn't know all those companies paid practical miles, coalregion. That's a good start. Credit where credit is due. Yeah so, what others?
Companies can't pay you to swing by the girlfriend's house, Mackman. Can't pay you when you've been out for three weeks and you're daydreaming and you take the exit going East when you should have gone West and you only realize it 30 minutes later. Also, for accounting purposes, it's efficient to estimate the miles, the accounting costs alone would make it way too expensive to pay hub miles much of the time. The thing is, the companies can pay you a reasonable estimate (practical miles) or they can cheat you 7-10% (shortest miles, HHG miles). HHG miles needs to go the way of child sweatshop labor. |
I dont know if they still do but PTL paid practical routed.
|
TransAm pays practical..I believe Maverick does as well (somebody correct me if I'm wrong on that one).
|
Ok, just a summary list so far:
Perkins Specialized Transportation CFI Crete Schaffer Hunt Millis (sometimes?) Barr Nunn Gordon (routed miles?) Trans Am Maverick (?) Great start, maybe we can get a really good list. Even if it were just a matter of principle, I wouldn't look at a company that doesn't pay practical miles unless there were some other overriding factors (like a terminal across the street from your house...) I couldn't turn down. |
Other companies paying practical miles
Roehl Interstate (?) Watsontown - nice smaller company http://watsontowntrucking.com/ All the LTL's carriers I know of by by the trip which is usually about right on . |
