Most likely because the whole mudflap bracket broke off the trailer.

Nowhere to mount it to.....except...

As stated you split the miles, hourly for delays/fuel, per diem is $50/day.

It's negotiated in the work rules if other than Layover/Sleeper. We have no mileage runs other than Layover/Sleeper in AZ, California has a bunch of new non-Layover mileage runs so it varies.

I just use Upsers.com when I hate myself, the Upsgo app would probably have to be used on a tablet.

So! Say if senior driver gets paid @ .86 cents and I'm a newby, my rate starts @ .60 cents! How they split that!?

You split the miles, not the pay.

If you run 2000 miles, he gets 1000 miles at $0.86 and you get 1000 miles at $0.60.

This is correct.

Then you would also be paid $.035 in per diem per mile. This would be paid for all 2,000 miles. That's why I just add $.07 to the mileage rate and divide the mileage in half. In this case he would get $.67 x 1,000 miles.

Driving a load in late at night and a car sits on your hip with badly aimed headlights that hit your rear view mirror. Grrrrrrr.

Where I am we have the hillbillies who mount huge LED light bars that are aimed up...they can hit you from a long ways back.

That's when my back trailer can start swaying....they tend to go on then.


I want to carry a spot light with me to hit those people back.



Oh yeah, if it's not foggy turn your damn fog lights off.

When I bobtail and the guy behind me has his highbeams on I turn my working light on. Lol . Works great on the newer tractors with the two LEDs .

If it's a tractor trailer with its fog lights on, 99% of the time it's one of our idiot UPS brothers...

Although I'm trying to be politically correct for all you snowflakes I have to say the following, it's probably a compadre.

You old people are funny . It's so you can see your password when typing .

Same check but different line from mileage pay because it's for all the miles, not just your half of the total miles.

I believe it's also tax free.
