    Hi Moses your videos are very helpful. I’m starting with JBI on 29 Tue-Sat, i was wondering that is the mileage for empty or bobtail paid and do we get drop and hook payment for dropping the empty trailer and bobtailing out?

    • @driversuccess
      @driversuccess  3 года назад +2

      Karan Patel you get paid for all miles the truck runs during your shift. At the beginning and end of your shift, you will record the miles. That’s what you get paid in terms of miles.
      As for empties, you get paid for an empty move only if it’s a job assignment.

    • @driversuccess
      @driversuccess  2 года назад +1

      @@genep.6008 as intermodal local drivers we get paid by what we call “activity pay” we get paid a flat fee for each drop and hook, lives and all the odometer miles we driver in a day.
      The times we get paid by the hour is if we are delayed at a customer place, at the rail, during a breakdown, safety training, etc
      We also have various flat pays called “exceptions” that we May get paid for if encountered. As an example, if you went to a customer and found them closed or they cancel the load, you get paid for that.
      The other thing to keep in mind is that even though we get paid the same way (activity pay) the pay varies by state.
