Trucking Answers | Should you get paid based on your bills? | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #116

Trucking, , , , , , , , ,

In an electrifying episode I discuss an incident at my work talking to another driver.  Should you get a paycheck that is based on how much your bills are that month?  That is what some people think but I don’t.  Companies need to compensate you for the things they ask you to do for them no matter if your car payment is $900 or you drive a Yugo to work.  Don’t fall in to the trap of thinking that only your miles should be paid.  Gov Newsome says only electric cars will be sold new and also don’t charge your electric car because we don’t have the power to do it.  Nice.  Weather and a Reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Mileage vs Hourly pay: Which is better? | #103

Trucking, , , , , , ,

In a mile marker extravaganza I discuss mileage pay vs hourly pay.  I will tell you why being paid by the hour plus overtime is the only way to get fairly compensated if you are an employee.  Over the years truck drivers have been conditioned to accept mileage pay as a way of life but you don’t have to.  I dispel the myth that people paid by the hour are lazy.  It amazes me that when people ask to simply be paid for their time at work they are looked down upon.  As an employee you are taking my time and I expect to get paid for it.  I also talk about how to figure your hourly pay for your time.
