What is the base pay and any extra money for a certain days work. What do most contractors pay? Flat fee or hourly?

I work for a contractor now after being with Express for 5yrs. I have my cdl so driving tractor trailers. I get paid a flat rate of 250 a day, benefits but they are horrible, usually finish work under 9hrs. Any extra stops they pay extra. It's not bad it's day hours but I'm still looking for another job as this is no future as they don't offer any retirement. It's not to hold me over till I find another job so it's working for me for now. Courier wise I hear and see posting that they get pending contractor $1.40-1.60 per stop.

$250/9=$27.78/hr. Nothing wrong with that wage, especially since you are not handling packages.

Extra stops? Are you doing in town bulk pickups?

Extra stop would just be going to a stop to just swap trailers. I do 3 customers a day and it's about 270 miles.

What would you consider to be a fair wage?

You will never find out the compensation why because it’s terrible learn the lesson like buying a used car how much is the car how much do you have?

I believe I'm payed fairly for what I do. I'd be very happy with 260-270 for the day. But I doubt that'll ever happen.

I very rarely worked OT (even during Peak) and would gross about that much per day.

$25-30/hr is a fair wage for delivery drivers.

The pension should be administered by the company only. Benefits should remain the same with more of the burden shifted to the employees.

Well you "worked" OT but didn't get paid for it. They miss your tireless efforts and free work.

150 stops, 177 packages = $130 gross; fair?

For 6 hours worth of work? Yes----that would be just shy of $22/hr.
