After I get parked today, I'll post some pictures of my setup. I haven't forgotten about the ICECO pictures, either.

I've never heard of a company that pays actual odometer miles. They go by statute miles or zip miles and practical miles.

That's nice. Of all the companies I've driven for, I've never been anywhere except J&R Schugel where I routinely, without fail, was paid between 6% to 13% less than what I drove every single trip, all the while following the company's forced routing.

Where I'm at now I get paid within 1.5% to 2.5% of all the actual miles that I drive, and that's on my routing using common sense.

This is a specific answer, for a specific question that concerns a specific company.

2022 numbers for me there:

110,345 paid miles

123,447 actual miles driven

I've never paid attention to gross pay, only net. I saw almost $59K over 276 days driving.

99.4% of the trips I was underpaid anywhere from 6% to 13% of the actual miles. A trip could be from one side of Kansas to the other on I-70 (423 miles) and it was a given that I would get paid for 378 miles. This was every trip losing a minimum of 6 to 13%. Some trip were worse.

I hope you have a better time, but these are facts and I can back them up with a paper trail.

Yeah, I drove there until I got fired a year ago. Hope you like the back roads for travel. They don't do toll roads 95% of the time and are strict on forced routing. Dispatch did not do any load assignments generally from 1500 on Friday until 0900 on Monday, so be ready to sit. Maintenance staff was good. Most of the management never drove trucks. I've seen many of their trucks lately that were not Internationals or Kenworths. I wish you good luck there.

Maybe a serial killer...

I wouldn't worry about it, what are the odds that two serial killers would be in the same truck?

I haven't killed anyone since I retired from the military.

Try Paschall Truck Lines

I have always thought it would be a worthwhile risk to have a complete unknown stranger in my truck. Maybe a serial killer, a scumbag on the terrorist watch list, or otherwise fugitive from justice. What could possibly go wrong? Definitely on my Bucket List.

A Russian company "kalinka transport" from South Carolina just recruiting for a 1099 job and saying hey we change log books make some good money. How are they in business and does fmcsa do anything about it

Did you file any complaints with the FMCSA or anywhere else?

Posted a few days ago. BUMP!

Congratulations!

First, it is NOT an Interstate.

Second, after viewing it on Google Maps, then reading the article above, it's not a route I'm going to be traveling. There are easier drives to keep a CDL.
