A tool designed to compute earnings based on the distance a commercial vehicle operator travels. This calculation uses a predetermined rate per mile, multiplied by the number of miles driven. For example, if a driver earns $0.50 per mile and drives 2,500 miles in a week, the tool would calculate a gross pay of $1,250.
This system provides transparency and predictability in compensation, assisting drivers in understanding their earning potential. It has become a standard practice within the trucking industry, offering a relatively simple and objective method for wage determination compared to earlier, less structured pay models. This method helps attract and retain qualified professionals by offering a clear link between effort and income.
