To be clear: I'm pretty sure you meant 28¢ ($0.28), which would be $28 per hundred miles -- vs. ".28 cents", which would be 28 <b>cents</b> per hundred miles, yes? Thank you @John Wall!  To be clear: I’m pretty sure you meant 28¢ ($0.28), which would be $28 per hundred miles — vs. “.28 cents”, which would be 28 cents per hundred miles, yes?

If you are, you are getting ripped off. It does not matter if they helped you get schooling to drive. They are exploiting you if you make under .28 cents per mile.

Now that I've got my driver's license, that actually doesn't sound too bad.

I think they deserve more than that. It's a high-stress, life-threatening, thankless job, and time away from family. I think they should make what longshoremen make.
