Questions to Ask Companies - Re: Truck Driver Pay Rate Issues
 
Truck Driver Pay Rates : -   Do you pay Orientation Pay?
 
Good carriers pay you while you are being oriented to the company and their policies and procedures. Ask what their policy is on orientation.
 
Truck Driver Pay Rates: - How do you Pay?
 
Different carriers offer different ways of paying you. Most common is payment per mile. The truck driver receives a per mile rate for every mile he/she runs. Percentage truck driver pay rates are less common and is more predominant for Owner Operators. Salaried driving positions are rare and are usually used for local jobs.
 
Truck Driver Pay Rates: - How much do you Pay?
 
Do you pay loaded and empty miles? If not how much for the empty miles? Empty miles are called deadhead miles which are usually non-revenue miles. 
 
Truck Driver Pay Rates: - How are the miles calculated?
 
Most carriers use mileage programs such as Rand McNally Milemaker, PC Miler to calculate miles between cities for truck driver's pay. These programs calculate mileage from post office to post office. Some companies pay hub miles for truck driver's pay which are the actual miles the trucks travel on their trip.
 
Truck Driver Pay Rates: - How much do you pay for multiple drops and pickups?
 
Usually the first and last drop are free and not paid for, and the middle drops and pickups get paid anywhere between 0 to $25.00 each, sometimes up to $50.00 in some cases. Extra drops are time consuming, so it’s a good idea to ask how many of the carrier’s loads have multiple drops and what is included in their shedule of truck driver pay rates.
 
Truck Driver Pay Rates: - Average miles per week?
 
When you start with a new company you will be the junior driver. Some companies hire too many truck drivers just in case they have a surge in demand and the junior truck driver waits his turn and does not turn enough miles to make a living. Make sure that the company is offering full time work if that is what you are looking for.
 
Truck Driver Pay Rates: - Do you pay layover? After how long?
 
How long do you have to sit waiting for a load before you start getting paid for waiting? Downtime can be expensive. Many companies start paying for layover after the first 24 hours.
