Bavarian Motor Transport, LLC - Okemos, Mi.

Yesterday when I got the mail there was a nice surprise in the hubbys pay check info....and once more I have to say what a great company my hubby works for.

Now they are starting one program where every pay day they will take and deposit into a drivers special "hometime account" a small amount, they are figuring the total for 1st year guys to be like 100.00 and for 2 yrs and up like 200.00 annually. This account is so that drivers can send flowers to family while they are out etc, just a little thank you is what it is supposed to be at no costs to the drivers AND as a special "late" drivers appreciation for this year they are going to fully fund the whole thing for all drivers as of Oct. 1st. They say they are doing this because they realize that much of the hardship of being away from home is on the family.

Plus, new home time days, for each year that a driver has worked (up to 5 years) they will get a bonus day....these days can be added to a home time as the driver wants. My hubby should get 2 of these bonus days starting in January 2007, he can let his dispatcher know he wants to use them and change a 2 day home time to a 3 day home time......pretty neat if ya ask me!

I have said it several times before and I will say it again, they really do care about their drivers AND their families.

 

my hubby is out 15 home 2 then out 16 home 2....I like the fact that they dont count the day you drive home against your home time, just this last friday he took the truck to williamston for reg maint.after droping his load here in MI so he has sat/sun off...and he was here at the house by 2pm on friday...so actually he ends up having two and a half days home.

 

Its not load value, its a percentage of what the truck gets paid for hauling that load from everything I have read/heard....the farther you haul a car the more that car pays the truck.
