Well starting the 7th most of the runs have been cut back 1 to 16 miles because there using new softwareshit PC miller.The sheet with the new mileage rates was posted up at HSB,seems to me an back door pay cut:ranting: Me myself I very hard to do an good job and dont like cutts like this.
 
90% of these cuts are less than 5 miles per run, I think we will all survive. If you think that's a huge pay cut then perhaps you would rather see reduction in pay rates that most other companies have experienced.
 
At Freight, we have a "mileage challenge" form (or we used to; I haven't seen one in a while). If you think the paid miles are wrong, then keep up with your actual number of miles per the odometer for a week or so and let whoever's in charge of your linehaul folks know about it.

But if the "new" paid miles are actually right, then I don't understand what the problem is.

oaf (thinking we should go to the metric system)
 
I used to have PC Miler on a laptop. You could print the route out to show you how to get somewhere running the number of miles PC Miler said it was. Of course the route they gave you would take you on and off the interstate creating a route more like a crow would fly than one a truck would drive. I suppose one could challenge the number of miles paid by asking for a printout of the route they want you to take.
 
Heh, Freight is a mile from us and closer to highway. I know the guy that does the same run I do from Freight. He gets paid 280 each way and I get 279 already. It should be the other way around, I hope they dont cut anymore from me.

His truck is shorter :)
 
This is my view about cutting miles. We already give them a lot of time for free and this company is over 75 years old, so its not like they don't know how many miles it is to every terminal. So it does gripe me that they keep trying to cut our mileage, but if we are willing to let them do this, then we deserve what ever happens. And I don't care what other company's are doing. I don't work for them, I work for a company that tells me if we give a 110% they will take care of us and every time I turn around they are wanting something else for free. It would be different If they were not making money but they are. Soooo if the mileage is incorrect you better believe that I am going to raise cain and try to get them to correct it if I can, and the rest of you should too.

Its easy set your truck Odo meter to all zero......run the bid mileage. Once it reach the paid mileage on the truck. just call CNC that you have to shut down. Coz you are not being pay for the extra mileage to run to the destination. Case close.

That will only work if the truck speedo is correct. I had a 2010 that showed 585 miles on a 606 mile run. If I did what you suggest, I'd be about 20 miles past CNN when I stopped. Most show more miles because the speedo is reading 67 and the truck is actually doing 64.

Remember... You can do anything you want on your last day.
 
My run is now 597 miles, up from the 590 we were getting paid for. We were told that we would not get the extra pay, and they cut 15 minutes off the run time.

If you use a GPS that allows you to see the speed you travel at, and the mileage from GATE-to-GATE, you should not have any problems challenging the shortage of miles. DO NOT DEPEND ON A TRUCKS ODO!

I agree, odometers many times vary a few miles from truck to truck. Also mileage will change on a truck as tires begin to be used up. I ran a bid in the same truck running the same routes night after night. It paid 606. With new rubber it would hub out at around 600. By the time the tires were wore down to replacement time I would be showing like 608. (as tires become wore they become shorter. Shorter tires= more revolutions of wheels needed to travel distance= more miles on odometer)
So like you said, odometers are not that accurate, but my gps would nail it at 605 every night.
 
Shorter and ssslllllloooooooowwwwweeerr - was than an ABF truck passing me? Time for tires.......
