[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1374759, member: 52978"] years ago, in the building I was in, all feeder drivers were hourly. management implemented some mileage runs, and they were jumped on by mostly senior drivers. Yes, you can make more money mileage and usually there is less wear and tear on the driver. (usually his loads/sets were ready/built wherever he went. A lot of our runs go from Mesquite/Houston. They started some new runs and made them mileage. It seemed to be a win/win for management/drivers. Drivers got off earlier, and equipment was available for the next guy faster. No waiting for a tractor at the fuel pump. Management tried to turn existing hourly runs into mileage, but the union fought this. Ended up only newly formed runs could be mileage. That Mestx run was about 477 miles RT. Our longest run goes to Port Allen, La. and I think it is about 626 miles RT. Those guys get the turned up tractors, because any delays cause those guys to have hours of service problems. I ran a Mestx run for a couple of years, got bumped off it, and found out I preferred local work. (all hourly) [/QUOTE]
