This is probably a funny question, to be asking, with the economy like it is. I just started a job and it looks like we will be working about 60-70 hours a week. Me, as an employer, now is faced with less money off the job, because of the long travel time, to the job and back (there is no place to leave the trucks) and there is sitting time that I dont get paid for. SO, the drivers are the only ones making out and the bottom line is getting too short, to be worth it.
I have asked several people about this and this was their replies
1. dont work no more than 40 hrs
2. hire another driver and let him work anything over 40 hours
3. pay the drivers a percentage (like contract labor)
This is going to be a lengthy job and it be going through a bunch of tires and fuel (more so than a local job) Not trying to take anything away from the drivers, but trying to make it fair for me also
