Prime has the SLOWEST sorry trucks on the road today, it's not even close

That's why Prime speeds thru posted work zones.

 

If it bothers you, turn them in to our safety department.

 

i always seem to get there an hour faster. maybe more.

i also seem to have more hours to burn.

but i don't know. maybe your right and i'm just kidding myself.

 

Simple math. Running 10 hours of driving at 70mph is 700 miles. Running 62mph is 620. I would be 80 miles AHEAD.

 

Hurry up and wait for an earlier preplan? Where they going to load it if you still waiting to deliver your last load?

Again, a good portion of these grocery warehouses have set delivery appointments or only receive at certain times. No reason to hurry and waste fuel.

 

7.75 miles per gallon is 1.7 cents per mile
8 mpg - 2.4 cpm
8.25 mpg - 3.0 cpm
8.5 mpg - 3.7 cpm
8.75 mpg - 4.3 cpm
9 mpg - 5.0 cpm
9.25 mpg - 5.5 cpm
9.5 mpg - 6.0 cpm
9.75 mpg - 6.5 cpm
10 mpg - 7.0 cpm
10.25 mpg - 7.4 cpm
10.5 mpg - 7.8 cpm
10.75 mpg - 8.2 cpm

Calculated to the hundredth for payout. This table is just quarter mpg markers... the entire bonus is scaled from there.... example someone getting 8.24 mpg is getting paid closer to 2.9 cents per mile

we do have drivers who are consistently in the high 9s and low 10s...

 

are they empty and going downhill?

 

Nope... I average 8.5+ over 75,000 lbs, and pull over 9 at 60,000 lbs.

 

And I get 5.8 @ 70mph with 107k..... Your l/w fleet is slowwww.

P.S. Maybe they could increase mpg if they slowed down.... 37 mph maybe.
