Actually my pay is neither hourly or by miles driven (well kinda).
My company pays Zone and Stop pay. If we go from 1 - 200 miles it's a zone 1. Each zone has a guideline mileage.
001 - 200 = 1
201 - 400 = 2
401 - 550 = 3
551 - 650 = 4
And so on.
Each zone is paid a flat rate according to your pay scale level. New guys are level 1. I am a level 10 driver.
Stop pay works like this: If you pick up - deliver - return empty it counts as a single stop trip and there is no pay above the basic zone $$.
Now if I go the plant and pick, deliver to Boyertown and reload there then deliver to Elizabeth and drop that trailer then bring a loaded one back to the plant then it's a zone 2 trip (201 - 400 miles) with 2 extra stops (Boyertown to Elizabeth, Elizabeth to the plant). The initial delivery to Boyertown is part of the basic trip.
It's a little different way to pay but it works.
