Fueling Stops, I hate going to Pilot and Flying J

I've got a ? that maybe some of you elder SNI company drivers might be able to answer. Overspeed is not tied to any of the bonus or annual perf metrics, so who's really dinged on it?

 

Every company in the world pays bonuses this way. You don't get a bonus for doing nothing. If you do what you're supposed to and the company benefits, you get a bonus.

 

Overspeed affects fuel mileage, over speed shows the warm body behind the monitors who drives faster than Sni wants drivers too.

Then SNI can starve out the driver.

Only management gets paid to leave Schneider drivers are starved out so they quit and aren't eligible for unemployment.

 

I actually get about .5 mpg more standing on it instead of running (air quotes) SNI authorized cruise speed. 60 mph puts me right at 1220 rpms which is the bottom of the MX13s sweet spot

 

Don't say that too loud they find a way to punish you for driving their governed speed......lol

 

it's a metric in intermodal.

 

Random letters and numbers guy goes into stealth mode "nothing to see here, move along"

 

My company gives peanuts for bonus pay. The REAL bonus is the guaranteed pay I get every Friday. Essentially, the job itself is the bonus.

 

If you're over 5% your dbl can, with approval from OPs manager, deny our bonus.

If you're involved in an "inccident" and there's a choice between firing you and not they'll look at the whole picture- including over speed.

As a side note, having my cascadia turned up to 63 I've noticed a drop in fuel economy. Roughly. 2 mpg less.

 

So it's kinda sleight of hand, a "it's there but we might not look at it kinda thing" I figured there was something. I have a feelin my DBL has imbibed waaaayyy to much Orange koolaid and I would be under that bus before it stopped moving.
