[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 3992212, member: 51847"] You are paid 1/2 the total scheduled miles. You get this no matter how much you drive. On top of that you get an extra $.035 for all miles per diem (I just add $.07 to half the miles when estimating how much I'll make covering a run). The per diem isn't taxed. On top of this you get hourly pay for your TA time, but you give them 2 hours on your longest leg after every trip to your home domicile. This is a little deceiving because you are most like washing and fueling at that leg so you will probably get some hourly pay even if your loads are ready. Most of our runs come back through the building at least once a week so you are giving the 2 hours multiple times a week. But I think it's worth it get a quick shower and a few hours at home. You don't get paid start work or finish work pay unless you are fueling or delayed. Then we are paid 1.5 time for that time. So, If I went on a run today and the tractor and loads we're ready, all my time pre-tripping and coupling the trailers would be unpaid unless you have to build a set, but that is rare for us. It's good money but a tough and dangerous life! [/QUOTE]
