    So I am getting my first quarter bonus and I am trying to figure out the payout. Is it so much per mile or is it fixed on your performance criteria

    .02 x score x paid miles for the quarter
    straight up ask dbl how much. they do the calculating and submitting.

    next time at an oc look for the bonus pamphlet. has the formula in there as well as a version available on crossroads.

    pays out on the friday of the 4th full week. this time it friday the 29th.

    Simple. A company lures innocent victims in by saying "50,000 dollar sign on bonus" but in fine print it says "[[must donate your life to us, and spend the rest of your life in our truck working for peanuts and never seeing family and friends ever again and be subject to nasty ### doughy pizza at flying J.... On your death bed we will pay your bonus... But you'll get the other half 6 months after your dead]]

    Read. The. Fine. Print. :)

    pretty sure he's talking about the quarterly .02c/mi safety bonus there, not the sign on bonus. But good advice nonetheless.

    Never heard of a truck getting more than 7.5mpg.
    Could anything higher possibly be constant, or is that per trip or what?

    My fuel percentage for the year so far is 107%. Where I lose a ton of points is days worked as I do three weeks on and one week off
