Pilot points?

I would be interested to find out how many of you out there are in companies where their drivers are NOT getting points on their payback cards (or FJ,TA,Petro etc...). I am currently at a company in Central Illinois where we do NOT get points, and only fuel at Pilots....

This to me seems to be one of those mind-meltingly stupid things to do to your drivers,and possibly something where a person at that company would actually have to pick up the phone and talk to someone at pilot and find out just how myh it would save them to do such a thing.

This is also added to by this same company removing the I-Pass from all its trucks,meaning that many drivers are having to take advances, which are charge $1 for, and not always reimbursed that same week.

I guess this is just another way this lovely lovely company takes care of their drivers......

 

hit the nail right on the head there rm.......

 

rick, its not the fact that my income is so pathetic, its that really dont have the spare money to throw around on their tolls....especially on lanes that we travel each and every day,like the IL Tollway,Indian Toll Road,Ohio Turnpike,PA Turnpike.... I can understand not having a certain pass if you hardly ever use it...e.g. we hardly ever go on the ok pike....but it is ridiculous to expect a driver to shell out sometimes hundreds of dollars up front.

 

i lucked out and got a cascadia straight away....

i have several apps in at the moment at various places!!!

 

if people are from their catchment area then they would usually know which one it is...and for a small (300 app. drivers) they are on the bad posts rather a lot. Their orientation classes average about 10-15 a weeks, again a high high turnover for a smaller company.

I can narrow a lot of the problems down to one name,but will not name it here!!!! RM I think knows the name....
