    Last payout for the extended stay out bonus is February 5th. Before this if you stayed out for 30 days or more you received an extra 3 cents on every mile you drove in that period.

    They're instituting a safe driver bonus for solo drivers but unless you have one year with them you don't qualify.

    Their company, their rules. Man, you got to know they are doing what's best for the company and not necessarily trying to screw people. Sometimes things slow down and it hurts all over. I've seen it and so have most of the guys on here.

    Times like now I'm surprised if any company would keep a bonus like that. Most company drivers a clueless at how bad things are out here. Your company like most is just trying to stay in business until next year. I suppose they could keep paying your extra .03 cents but what are you going to do when they call and say "leave your truck at the next truck stop! Good luck." I would rather have a job.

    I cannot wait until the day that they give company drivers a $25 an hour minimum wage for all time on duty not driving and driving time. Forget about the bonuses just pay the driver for what he does and do not expect him to do something for nothing or give that reason,"the pay is figured into your miles line", this ought to be a crime!

    The safe driver bonus is an extra 5 cents per mile.

    I kept the post neutral as my objective was to inform not judge so I find it absolutely hilarious all y'all are interpreting it as me complaining :biggrin_255:
