    I'm going to go with a negative. I have no clue why he's worried about his fuel milage in the first place. Unless he's going to lease and god forbid he does that.

    well, do they figure it from the qualcom box? or from fuel receipts and mileage reports?


    Seems like a valid question to me other than.....

    Thanks, someone has some common sense.

    I would never lease. Prime does pay a fuel bonus.
     
    MNdriver and Jrdude5 Thank this.

    Prime has a MPG or Else culture from what I have picked up on. That is included in the Company Drivers arena. Those that don't understand how much they micro-manage it, would not understand the context of the question. They actually have real-time satellite tracking of MPG and seem quite zealot about monitoring each truck. So to answer the question, I would assume through the qualcomm in some way. Disclaimer: Not claiming to know as fact, but just from what it seems the situation is from listening to drivers call in and talk about it when Prime has guests on Sat Radio programs. It seems to me that they are pretty zealot like about everything MPG. I could be wrong.
