70 cents might be an insult to you, but I’m grateful, especially since they could’ve easily used the pandemic as a reason to not have a raise this year or even a pay cut.

Our bill count has actually gone up mostly due to the increased volume of residential delivery’s 8 of 17 stops Friday these pay more but take extra time to deliver. I think we should have been pushed up to $30. An hour also.

It's not the amount, it's the fact they associated a huge purchase of PPE with it of which our barn never saw a lick of PPE until three weeks after the first shutdowns. But they took our coffee machine and donuts and fruit away right away as the office got to keep theirs. If they didn't want to bump up that's fine, but as another poster said I've been busier during this time than I had in the previous six months. I put my money where my mouth is. I don't care for how the raise announcement was handled among other things and after ten years I am simply waiting on the call from my new employer that the inframe is complete on my new to me non nanny state truck and I'll be down the road. It's the Roberts' company they may do as they will. As I've often said, there's three ways to do things, the right way, the wrong way, and the R&L way. I've had enough of the latter.

It depends on what area you’re in, some areas they’re making damn good money.

They're not a mileage rate necessarily, it's a flat rate per run. See my thread "Some linehaul rates". You are correct, they call that barn Huntington

Top hourly rate is probably $29.72
No idea of new hire rate.
All linehaul are paid flat rate per run.
I think it’s now 3 yrs. to top rate.
Appreciate feedback. Just starting process of application, phone interview. Need to get back to LTL. Lost best in my area.my fault, starting over(again).

Thanks, it was a good run. Enjoyed most of the folks I worked with,good people. Life changes, opportunity knocks, and sometimes it's time to move. Commute and the way LTL on general is changing and will continue to change were two of the biggest drivers in my decision. I WILL NOT miss residentials! Dealt with them for 10 years at previous job as well though it was a private fleet. 19 years combined doing liftgate two wheeler long carry pallet jack non commercial location deliveries was enough. Open deck is still physical but I'm good with that part of it, the straps/chains and tarps.
That is a no
on the L/H and the lowest. Most days I think its all good, I'm left alone and anything I ask for within reason is granted. But I have a cool CSM or TM, That's worth a lot in my book. If he goes and we end up with a jerk, the pay would suck way more. But for now, i'm with you. I've always brought up the idea of a new LH pay format or increase. Should hear the city p&d whenever I do..........
........LOL
Are you making over a 100k a year in line haul working 5 days a week,That include no lay downs .Only turns.That is a no

Out of NOR at 5 days a week, the top linehaul gig is about 95,000 per year, out and back, we don't do lay downs
What about your waiting time, drop and hooks ,fuel, and all other time consumed.When the truck stops .are you making money or giving freebies.

All in one rate. No extra. Mind you I'm no longer there and ran linehaul for under a year, not including weekend work. Each slip point or terminal has a flat rate. I've heard there is a method to the madness to compute the flat rate to include everything but I could never figure it out. I have an older threadon here entitled "some linehaul rates" that has it broken down by actual odometer miles and gps miles.
No, I'm just under 90,000. When I run the numbers on my gig its about .57-.58 CPM and from arriving to work and walking out the door at work, my time averages 35 an hour for the 5 days of LH. I don't wait long. Gotta pretty good run. Always have been taken care of here at R+L other than LH pay. But my 2 cents always was the LH side of drivers are not taken care of like the city side. But I'm happy.

Linehaul pay varies for every region just like city pay. I'll explain with generic numbers but it'll be close to what everyone makes. Take a 500 mile turn and divide by 50 miles per hour = 10 hours + 1 hour ( it's for drop/hook and fueling) Now we have 11 hours multiply that by $28 or ( if you know what you get for stop pay that's your hourly pay. It varies from terminal and region). System and team pay is more but i don't know what that rate. It's not bad until you start talking to other drivers lol. A Estes driver i talk to runs 10 miles more but makes $50 more a night just on mileage and that's not including fuel and drop pay.

Almost all of the teamster pensions are underwater. The solvent ones are extremely few.
or just wait until we see what happens with YRC.
