A lot of companies do their miles based on zip code instead of Address. That could be what you're seeing as well.
Sorry to hear that, it's tough not being able to trust your employer. But its the game these days. As a wise man once said "Playing with my money is like playing with my emotions."
Anyone playing with my money is playing with their health.
Most companies pay shortest route thru HHG. Some are paying practical miles, but that is still a little shorter than actual hub miles. If you can stay under 5% unpaid miles thats good. Thanks for your videos and time it takes to make them.
Most companies by, what is known as, PC Miler. It's not exact location. It's based off of stuff like City hall to city hall or post office to post office. Unfortunately, it is most often shorter as it's based off "as the crow flies. If at your pick up you were to go straight up to the sky and fly straight to your delivery, that's how it's paid. They don't factor in turns, curves, road closures, detours, etc. Very few companies pay by what is known as hub mile, which means being paid by the actual number of miles that you drove. I'm usually shorted about 20 miles per trip on an average of 630 miles, 3 times per week. Don't be upset, that's the standard in trucking and has been for a long time.
Get some miles under your belt and if you don’t feel appreciated, move on. You know your worth. A young man with your work ethic and kind demeanor will have no problem finding someone that will make you feel appreciated. Drive safe and thanks for the awesome content!
When you're hooking up back your rear axle under your trailer just enough for it to be under the front of it. Then, get out to check your trailer height. Dump your bags if needed. Then back under just enough so that the fifthwheel hits the trailer, inflate your bags, and finish backing under. That will keep you from putting your pin over your fifth wheel and getting high hooked. Be safe out there.
Daym first the wash ticket incident, now my boy gettin shorted miles. Daym
Good you're keeping up with that!!! Many don't and don't notice until it's too late!
Hay BRO GET ON IT AND STAY ON IT TILL YOU ARE SATISFIED OVER THE WHOLE MILE THATS YOUR PAY SCHEDULE YOU CAN DO THAT AND STILL Drive for a company so stay prayed up stay motivated
If you go to another company. Always ask how they calculate their miles. Everyone is different. There companies that do air miles, zip to zip, actual miles, Randy McNally miles, etc. There just so many different ways companies calculate their miles
Yeah that’s how it goes. Sometimes they pay zip code to zip code, or post office to post office. Sometimes it goes against you sometimes it goes for you. If your paid percentage of the load, it is the percentage of what’s left after all the expenses of the load are taken out and not what the shipper is paying to have the load shipped. If you’re paid by the hour, some companies don’t pay overtime if they cross state lines. They got all the bases covered driver.
Try fuel hauling, most of them are paying 6 figures and home every night,that’s what I’m doing and no over the road for me been there done that
I see you nephew!! Proud of you bro !!!!! Be careful out there!
They go by zip to zip or air miles!!!!it's like you drive thru Atlanta or any other big cities, takes you around the loop who then might take you over an hour....you don't get paid those additional miles.😢
Yup. It's as the crow flies
Be safe out their V. Don't be afraid to go live.
Driver sounds like they're paying zip code to zip code and not door to door.
Most companies pay from Shippers zip code, to Receiver's Zip Code, although you do have a Valid Point.
I didn't have that problem at Holland only difference between prime and Holland is they have 350 trucks vs primes 10k trucks
That's how most starter companies do get your feet wet for about a year and then go local to a better company your there for the experience and training not the money
Yea most companies pay zip code to zip code but even if they pay practical miles it still won’t be accurate and sometimes you get paid more miles than it be
Look into flow trans tanker company.
I have learned the zip to zip code pay. I always use my GPS map to see how many miles really is it taking company routes. Anything over 40 miles not paid is not right. Because some dms will really try to short drivers on the calculated actual miles. Now, being some companies do zip to zip pay. Which if your running anything over 40 miles, not paid, I'd be talking to my dm or their supervisor.
I worked for a company that used RTS pro to input load information etc and the mileage would be be reduced after being input into the RTS pro . It averaged around $100 shortage per month
Depends on the company its zip code to zip code some are hub and some arent
My home was working for western express and he noticed exactly what you just said about your miles and he confronted them and when they didn’t pay him he quit.
It has been that way ever since i started driving back i 1940. They pay house movers guide which is post office to post office. 10 miles short is lucky cause i have seen it up to 75 miles
That would make you 100.
@@ogdriver5334 sorry it was suppose to say in the 50 but i am 93
@@stevenielson497 Good for you, I hope I make it that far!
I got my license in 1989 at 28 cent a mile or 12 dollars a hour be aware of air miles or Ariel miles don't give up bruh that's the trucking industry
Most if not all companies use a mileage program that shorts the driver.
Mayby look into fuel tanker work? It’s treated me VERY well the last 5 years
I am a Prime company driver refer side, Thursday I go to tanker bootcamp
Good luck!
Is refer a good division???
@@kevinlewis6927 There’s always work year-round, I just need to do something different. The reefer division is just getting old to me.
Miles are zip code to zip code.
I see now
Keep a ledger per load that shows the miles driven, paid miles, time under hire and expenses. This will also prepare you for when your a lease operator. You need good books if you want to be a successful lease operator. If keeping a ledger isn’t your thing bro, stick to company.
Man I'm thinkin you should get multiple copies of the wash ticket, I'm just sayin in case you lose one, u feel me
My company short us on mileage to, damn crooks
It does suck that's how companies be winning of your hard work they don't care that load is more important than anyone
Because they pay u zip code to zip code they don’t pay shipper to reciever, it’s fuck up to
Most companies do that bro they use zip to zip if my mileage is off more than 30 miles I call them show them what my gps is saying they fix it
They not really shorting you they just paid google miles , but not address to address.
It's called PC Miler, not google
Good video fam, tomorrow is second day in class l with Stevens Transport.
THEY ARE PAYING YOU BY POST OFFICE TO POST OFFICE MILEAGE , THEY SHOULD BE PAYING BY HUB MILES WHICH IS MORE MILES TO YOU .
I hope things were not too back for you. Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe out there.
The miles things are different each load. The load assignment may say total miles 775 but when you put in the location it could be 789. A little off but it goes from zip code to zip code
They pay zipcode to zipcode. Sometimes its shorter sometimes u get overpaid. All depends
Lets say u deliver to dallas and u leave florida. They paid zipcode to zipcode. So if u deliver to east dallas and u coming from the east u will get overpaid. Cause they paying u to go to the middle of dallas. If the destination is on the west side of dallas and u coming from east, u may have to drive a little further no pay because they paying to the middle of the city.
To put it simple, they paying to middle of city to middle of city
So sometimes u gonna get overpaid, or underpaid. Most companies do it like that. But its not a scam, u good bro
Wonder if you paid any attention because they always paid zip code to zip. When i went to orientation they explained that
Yup. Its PC Miler
You're drive miles are usually different from paid load miles. Because these companies use an app to determine mileage to rate the customer the correct charge. It sucks but that's how it is.
Inaccurate pay??? that’s a labor dept situation there.. go ahead and check your pay check and your miles get all that money they owe you if they do. I hate when these companies scam, after you’re done getting your seat time if you wanna move move but if you like it stay and sort it out bro don’t let anybody ride you like a mule…
It’s zip code to zip code. That’s how trucking pays
I'm just wondering I have considered driving a tanker.
Only problem is I don't like heights. Do you ever have to walk on top of the tanker?
Some people driver a extra mile just for extra money so just drive the miles you suppode to drive
F all that you have to start keeping up with that Lil bro.
You never do traction test when you take your load?
Prob just error but like you said that could add up. It's like the guy that stole by having every bank transaction take like one cent lol. Made millions. The company could short every driver a few miles and like you said it ain't much to you one time.. but imaging every company driver every time over a whole year. Sly cheating saving them millions not having to pay yall.
Don’t no company pay you every mile you run they pay zip code to zip code
It's a difference in miles & how they bill could be air miles or zip miles what program they're using it sucks tho
WHAT?!?!?! A trucking co FKg their drivers?
Who ever heard of such a thing?
!
I feel your pain, id want all mine to 💯
All companies do that welcome to trucking
Tell the administration and see if they’ll right it
Hello I have a question, when you get a tank wash, do they wash your hoses that you used???
Yup
@@VezOnTheRoad oh ok
Any one could have told you that. Prime is good for getting your feet wet. They care more about people leasing the truck so they can take more money from you. You will be fine get your experience and find companies that may treat you better. I know guys with ETC say they love it there. Not sure where they based out of but good luck.
It’s sad to say but some companies pay zip code to zip code instead of actual miles.
Most companies do these days. Very rare will you find one that still pays by the hub
Got to love PC Miler . Zip code to zip code
Very, Did you vent the roof vent? 🎉
Ask them how they calculate miles
Zip code to zip code
Prime is zip code to zip code not door to door
They’re probably paying air miles
When prime spoke to me trying to sale me a dream for a long period instead of a plan of success just cause my color.nice trucks but not nice enough for me ,I ask what about my pockets and my fam I want to be know by name not number so I moved on
You ain’t gotta drop the bags like that. Increases chances of hitting cab. If you wanna drop the bags just back up til the 5th wheel touches drop the bags then get out and check. Never drop bags and back straight up.
Love the vids word of advice from a 7 year driver to another that’s all. Do what makes you comfortable
(I back up the bags up you ain’t gonna damage a air bag )
yea eventually u short 15 miles each trip by the end of the year that’s 40k miles
They pay zip code to zip code youngster.
You must remember they already have your road trip planned out they have a navigation system that shows them the quickest route you can go . YOU CAN GO ANY WAY you want but they have a predetermined trip plan you should ask for the GPS system they use so that you can use the same as them .believe me you're not gonna get EXTRA Going extra long way cause that's WHY they have that system . Unless you've been with the company for a while then you can go to speak whatever grievances you have.and get what it's worth BECAREFUL.Your making ripples in the water🤔
Be safe out there driver 🎉🎉
The way every company pays is zip code to zip code it's been that way for the 17 years that I have been driving
I didn’t know that. When I hear someone say I’ll pay you by the mile I automatically think it’s address to address
@@VezOnTheRoad that's why when I came to prime I went lease, now I am doing lease purchase
They are all crooked they pay the driver short miles
What I hear is alot of shoulda coulda woulda ... but didn't....
Stay safe out there. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Prime pays zip code to zip code
Leasing game or company game pick your poison either way we getting fucked over here lol
Content like this can and will get you fired. better becareful making a major company look bad if you dont wanna lose your job. I agree with you 100 percent but at the end of the day you work for them and making them look bad on a public forum can bite you in the ass.
Hey bro all companies do that bull some of them use zip code to zip code
Gps doesn't lie
Found you in my feed. First time watching your vids. You are humble and professional like @Slimepack392 and @VaGaMadeMe. Your delivery styles are similar. Love the content. Stay blessed and hold Prime accountable. I liked and subscribed.
You get paid for 96 miles of that 100 sum. Company drivers will never get paid the exact miles
my company does it zip code to zip
People who run the truck companies are sleezy nasty people, that’s always trying to get over on drivers I had a uncle that would drive trucks and always had a boss that would try to finnese/be sneaky with stuff bro it’s a shady business for sure
I used to get paid by the mile in the 1980’s I think it was .25 cents a mile but the miles were as the crow flys miles kind of sucked
I mean around that time shit food was a dollar😂
Sheesh 🤦🏾♂️

As far as your pay are they paying you book mileage or actual miles
Zip code to zip code apparently. I thought it was address to address
@@VezOnTheRoad there sometimes you make money on the load and then there time you get screwed
It's PC Miler and is figured in with "as the crow flies".
Book miles vs hub miles.......it is what it is
