NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

[danmdevries]

I call B.S. with the new hours of service laws it would be almost impossible to make that much money legally. Using the 70hour/8day rule, the most driving time he could have in a year is 3200 hours (rounded up). If he average 50mph for those 3200 hours it would be a total of 160,000 miles. Is he getting paid a dollar a mile for driving a company truck? I doubt it. What if he takes an extra day off instead of just the federally mandated time off?

This is the info I was looking for.

Thank you.

What would be an expected salary for a new driver willing to stay otr for long periods?

Kinda weighing this against medical device sales rep, which considering I don't like people, sales might not be my forte. Running out of options within my field without further education, so weighing further education against other job markets at the moment.

What do you sell? I seems the .gov is a choking that business. Companies are dropping whole lines, slimming down for the impact of ACA.

 

[actaeon277]

Possibly.

on a slightly brighter note. I've been up since 730 am, and couldn't get a nap in, so it's going to be a fun night at work. Almost time for me to start getting ready.

I find it hard to believe that you couldn't get to sleep.
Really Andy. You're going to have to come up with something more believable.

I sent my brother the question. He is a truck driver, he does "out and back" trips of a couple of days, but he'll be able to give an educated guess.

What the heck happened?
I'm sure its somehow jedi's fault.

I came in to work, it was 63.


Well, swapped shifts, so now I gotta go home. Poop shower shave. Then off to Greg's Memorial in Valparaiso.

[chef larry]

Off to what?

His old roommate passed away.

His old roommate passed away.

Oh. Thanks

 

[tv1217]

wouldn't be so quick to call BS.

We need more details. Is this a solo operation or teams?There's also that per diem and some companies pay on top of mileage, i.e. load/unload, dispatch, stop pay, etc.

I'll take them. My office mates are getting really pissed about the stress ball I keep throwing around. Plus...the kids might even take one or two.

Still need some shells?
