Stop Pay on ALL Loaded Deliveries
The Value of Stop Pay:
Drivers are paid form $10.00 - $25.00 for every delivery. The extra pay adds two cents per mile trip compensation with a $10.00 delivery and five cents per mile for a $25.00 delivery on an average trip of 450 miles. If you have a multi-stop load the second delivery would add, depending on if a $10.00 or $25.00 delivery, four to eleven cents per mile and a third delivery would add seven to seventeen cents per mile.
The value of stop is calculated by taking base mileage rate multiplied by the trip miles, then including the stop pay amount then dividing it by the total trip miles or by using the following charts:
