I mentioned it was pushed through. I wouldn't of taken the load unless it was gonna be held over. The miles were all done from Tues to Tues I just couldn't drop it early.truadvocate Thanks this.

That's not true.. it doesn't say that anywhere in the actual law. That is a "company" policy that "some" companies have but is "not" a part of the federal law.. Read the law... I have.truadvocate Thanks this.

Seems like CR England has been running exceptionally slow lately.

You work for Prime, right?
-
Yes...and we are allowed to drive off duty with a empty trailer and not under a load.
In fact the warning message we get on Qualcomm while driving off-duty states : "while bob-tailing or pulling an empty trailer when leaving a reciever and moving a short distance to park"truadvocate Thanks this. -

Driving slow for fuel mileage bonus is effectively being persuaded to take a pay reduction per hour. I personally value my time so I do the speed limit or close to it to get as far as I'm legally able to. And yes i pay for my own fuel.
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
It is now.
It used to be good when it was a cpm bonus, but they changed it to a percentage of what you save in fuel. Youd only get %50 of what you save in fuel so unless we see $6 a gal fuel prices it is a waste of time to pursue.Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
