US Xpress Actual Miles vs. Practical Miles Chattanooga Tennessee
Has anyone working for US Xpress wondered why they just recently changed from practical miles to actual miles?
Well I can tell you that it's not because they love their drivers and wanna put more money in your pockets! Cause we all know that's what the Per Diem is for that they keep pushing for you to participate in! ;)
No, they did it out of FEAR! Ask Swift drivers why US Xpress did it. It's because Swift is about to get their cheap a*s handed to them in the form of of a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT that just got the go ahead to go to trial! Read about it here and if you ever drove for Swift after 1998, your eligible to be included in the suit, so get your money! http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/08-11-2008/0004865735&EDATE=
US Xpress as well as other big trucking companies have been cheating drivers for years with this BS practical miles vs actual miles business and as my granddad use to say, "the rooster has come home to roost!"
US Xpress is gonna get it to and I'm personally talking to some "people" who are very interested in this practice!
That's the ONLY reason they started changing their policy on practical miles vs actual miles!
I'll keep you posted on what's going on with my "investigation"

Didn't you know there's this great big conspiracy between JB Hunt, Schneider, Swift and the State of Ohio to "get" drivers?
Didn't you know JB's son owns all the truck stops?
Didn't you know each Schneider trailer contains a hidden camera to catch owner operators throwing out their urine bottles on the road?
Didn't you know Swift is leading the way to slow trucks down so that owner operators will drive faster to burn more fuel?
Didn't you know JB pays certain select drivers to go around truck stops in the middle of the night to place secret transponders on the trailers of owner operators which tell the DOT to inspect those drivers?
Didn't you know Schneider have special logging rules in all 48 states?
Didn't you know you aren't a real driver unless you go thru the truck stop at night with your Jake Brake on?
Come on now, Floyd. Get with it. Hang out at the counter of the truckstop so you can see and hear all the "real" truckers!
