wasn't paid for repair time
Hello everyone good morning,wanted to ask everyone a question. I recently had a trip where I reported a ripped up tire during pretrip but wasn’t paid for repair time. This hasn't happened to me yet since I'm pretty new... but what should I do... just let it go?
just eat the time. But most companys will pay after 11/2 hrs down time. Learn to use that time as a rest period. chock it up as experience.
Company drivers make 'breakdown pay' ... Depending on what state you're in at the time of breakdown... The company not not have a choice and may have to legally pay you regardless of company policy. New to driving? visit .... TheRookieRoom.com
Let it go if it was your truck would you pay your self
Most companies make you give1 or 2 hours before paing hourly wage for brake downs . Union company might be diferent
You need to get a tire measure and a gauge, and don't wait for them to get wasted enough that they RIP so you can get them changed sooner than later cause it will be a lot fast to change them and if you see anything or hear anything that might need repairs but it not serious enough yet get them repaired sooner than later cause it will be faster, cause a lot of companies without union will not pay you the ones with union will and those companies don't care cause in some cases they will have you waiting a the terminal for days and you get paid by the miles you won't make money , I tell you this hourly rate is 1000 times better than getting mileage pay any day cause the company will fix it With In that hour you reported it or give you another truck guarentee
Depending on the company.
Most companies I have drove for offered what they called break down pay which added up to 19.75 a hr
If you are paid by the mile they do not have to pay you for the repair time
Yeah Harold is right most the time it’s on the driver for repairs..
if u like the job just eat it.not worth the time and hassle.
