    So Stevens used to pay a bonus monthly. Now it's quarterly. And if you miss the 3 month 8.0 mi/gl by .1 you lose.

    I’ve always felt like the fuel bonus shouldn’t be set in stone and should have a little flexibility. Some drivers drive routes that have more hills or mountains, some drivers drive more in bad weather which consumes more fuel. Even the newer trucks, many of the newer Kenworth models Have faulty fuel injectors in them, which makes the tractor consume more fuel. All sorts of factors can raise or lower fuel use.

    If you had idled 10 minutes less, you would have got that bonus.

    lol, you’re not rubbing it in or anything. Lol yeah kind of funny. He’s probably sitting there. Thinking of the dozen things. He could’ve done just slightly different and got that bonus.

    If it’s on the driver taking time off I think it’s one thing. But company’s that cut miles just before bonus are #### stains and deserve to beat repeadily until sufficiently punished. Oh and pay said driver bonus and for the beating too. I don’t think it’s excessive. lol.
     
    Rayj00 and #1 Kenworth Thank this.
