What Is A Good,bad Or Great Pay If You Are Getting Paid Percentage Pay Instead Of Mileage?

And the only way to know what you are getting paid is to get paid by the hour

These tuck driver pay discussions always get interesting. I've said many times how the truck driving career is the most misunderstood career I've ever been involved with. We are funny people. We are always looking for some way to make our pay come out better, but we always miss the point of how that's done.

Incidentally, I always knew what I was getting paid. I knew the miles on the loads I had completed and I knew the rate at which they would be paid. I have no idea why getting paid by the hour would be the only way to know what you are getting paid. I do know that I was able to turn a lot more miles than my peers. I don't think I ever could have worked more hours than them. We all had the same HOS rules to abide by.
