It's simple. At JLE, we believe you should get paid for All the work that you do. If you drive 205 miles to pickup a great load for a customer, you should get paid for all 205 of those miles. If you tarp a load, you should get paid for your effort to keep the customers' freight safe and secure. All miles count. All miles should be paid for.
Let's take a look at how mileage pay compares to % pay. Let's assume you go from Point A to Point B and it's a 400 mile run. Then your next load picks up 100 miles from Point B. Which pay package would you prefer?
