Lies, Lies and more Lies from recruiting staff at Big Freight.You will not earn 52c per mile, not even the 41c shown in the table. The funniest part about this sad recruitment campaign is that this was sent to an ex driver who left Big Freight because he could not get the miles or earn what they had promised him, oh by the way he was earning 36c per mile but to be fair they have had a pay rise recently. The drivers got an increase in the base pay (mileage) and lost money on the picks, drops, tarps, untarps. I have talked to some drivers who are losing money, be interested to hear from any drivers still there to give a balanced discussion.
Nice recruitment campaign don't you think lol.

I did the maths with my last 6 pay slips. Gross pay divided by the paid route miles.
46.81
51.26
48.80
43.91
50.77
44.89 cents/mile.
It would be interesting to see the same mathamatics applied to the payslips of other drivers at other companies.
Thanks for your honesty Chris.
Here is mine
45c
45c
47c
45c
43c
44c per mile average.
Does not include holiday pay, benefits or bonuses. Strictly miles, border crossings, load and unload. Does not even include hourly pay.I have not received any hourly pay for over two months (no waiting time), log books have to match qualcom so 99.9999999% legal.
For those on the outside looking in the other things to consider when doing the Maths this way is that a driver can say he earns 52c/mile and another driver earns 42c/mile but driver A does 7000 miles/month and driver B does 10000 miles/month. What would you rather earn?
I've just worked it out for last Christmas and New Years pay slip.
57 cents per mile!!!!!!!!!!!
But that is with 3 days holiday pay and not many miles.
If I had know I was getting that much, I would have tried to do a whole lot more. LOL.
