<p>There is a loss of at least 10% if not 20% on paid miles versus actual mileage traveled. If my dispatcher says I have a 1500 mile haul from Nogales to point B I automatically add 25% for close to 2000 miles total haul. That is about 500 miles of unpaid driving because everything is based on the now obselete Household Guide.</p><p>Toss the guide and bill for the actual miles traveled tracked by GPS and watch the fallout.</p><p>But that will not happen as long there is ONE starving O/O, Company or maveric driver willing to take that load out of there for .70 a mile when he or she or the corperation knows well it costs 1.15 to run it.</p><p>Sometimes it's nice to take a crap load and get out of a low rate area and start feasting on 1.80-2.50 or more overnights on the other side of the USA.</p>
