    Guess you don't understand the % thing. When they reset your data on the first of the month, you'll see everything higher. Just idle for 5 minutes before you start to move after they reset it and you'll be at 100%. I only had 200 hours total and let it fly most of those 14 days over 67. that's how I got 76%. All I said was what I experienced. Every company has it's perks and jerks right? Anyway, point is they are like everyone else making money and not making drivers happy. Hence 120% turn over rates with all OTR companies. Best job I ever had.....Tanking Fuel for an hourly rate, overtime and home nightly. My showers are free without fuel, lol! Be safe!

    He is correct about the idle percent reset, this was with the old style quallcoms
    And they would reset it at midnight on the last day of the month.

    Then to cut back on people who abused the idle percentage ( pre~apu era)
    They started reseting every week on Saturday at midnight. So it was really easy
    To have 100 % idle if you weren't careful.

    Are you aware that 94.32% of all statistics are made up on the spot?

    Like I said..Bonuses are like warranty's.... Strickly for suckers! If companies can't pay a decent wage up front, don't work for them!

    I Just got my fuel bonus plus my mileage rate increase to 32cpm. Bonuses work, you just have to jump through the hoops to get them. For me, it was worth it

    I am a National flatbed driver, and very seldom do not get a quarterly bonus, and have never not gotten the yearly bonus.
    Qtrly bonus is usually beteween $150-$250 for me, and the year end (Christmas) bonus has always been well over $1150.

    Nice...the jobs I've had, a "bonus" meant you still had a job. :biggrin_2552: Well, except one guy...Turkey Day we'd get gift cards to the total of around $100 toward our holiday dinner, for the local grocery store...
