How much is your time worth? If on a flat rate plan does that cover your time sitting at docks or if on a percentage time does that cover time sitting at docks?
After a good day at the Great American Trucking Show, we went over to Fair Park where Randall - Reilly, the owner of the show, had made arrangements for truck parking. While there I met up with a gentleman I had met at another show and we had a good conversation about driver pay.
Pat has begun a movement to "fix" some of the issues related to safety and driver pay. I'm not saying Pat has all the right answers, but he has at least identified what he sees are some of the problems in the pay structure for drivers. As I was once told by a county commissioner back in Kansas, "Don't bring me a problem unless you bring me a possible solution at the same time". So, Pat has identified at least part of the problem and a solution. Right or wrong, Pat makes some very good points that made sense, to me at least. I will summarize the best I can.
