12. What happens to my pay if I am put on a repower or a Service
Center transfer? You will automatically be paid for the repower or
Service Center transfer, unless you have a stop or via point. At that
time, you will be paid when the Xpress Scan is received.
13. How does the Company determine paid miles? We pay miles
based on Rand McNally HHG Mileage Guide 19. The company
reserves the right to upgrade or change versions of Rand McNally
software as new versions are released.
Consult your Driver Manager or the Payroll Department if you are
unsure of your status or pay program. It is your responsibility to ensure
the accuracy of your payroll. Any payroll issue should be brought to the
attention of the Payroll Department within 90 days of its occurrence.

Driver Compensation Policy
The Company pays drivers the designated mileage rate as
compensation for completing a trip and delivering a load on behalf of
the Company. In order to complete the trip and deliver the load, the
driver is required to perform various job functions, and the mileage pay
is designed to compensate a driver for all hours worked by the driver
performing those job functions in completing the trip and delivering the
load (i.e., all on-duty time, both driving and non-driving), including, but
not limited to, receiving the dispatch, trip planning for the load, pre-trip
and post-trip inspections of equipment, driving, fueling, on-duty breaks,
dealing with customers, waiting to load and unload, and completing and
returning paperwork for the load, unless otherwise noted. The mileage-
based pay formula describes the basis for a driver’s compensation; it
does not define the work for which the drivers are compensated. In other
words, the mileage-based pay is intended to compensate drivers for all
of the work they perform for the Company, not just the time they spend
driving.
At the time a load is dispatched, the driver is given all necessary
information for the delivery of the load. For example, the driver is
provided with, among other things, the names and addresses of the
shipper and the receiver of the load, a description of the freight to be
delivered, the pick-up and delivery appointment times, and the total
compensable miles, loaded and empty, for the trip. The compensable
miles are not actual miles, but rather are defined as all “dispatched”
miles, loaded and empty, origin to destination, shortest route, as
determined by Rand McNally HHG Mileage Guide 19 or other mileage
index used by the Company. A driver will therefore know, even before
accepting the dispatch for the load, what the driver will be paid for
completing the trip and delivering the load.
