Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

It would... the higher the fuel the more it benefits the slower driver.
The cheaper the fuel the more it benefits the faster driver.

Lets use examples...

Driver A $1.50 all miles
Driver B $1.40 all miles

Driver A, averages 50 MPH, gets 9 MPG and drives 11 hours. 550 miles.
Driver B, averages 60 MPH, gets 7 MPG and drives 11 hours. 660 miles.

Fuel is $2 a gallon.

Driver A: 550 x $1.50 = $825
Fuel costs 550 ÷ 9 MPG x $2 = $122
Net after fuel = $703

Driver B: 660 x $1.40 = $924
Fuel costs 660 ÷ 7 MPG x $2 = $189
Net after fuel = $735

Thats right.. the driver that got 2 MPGs more and got .10 more per mile earned less for day the than the faster driver.

Now lets say fuel was $4 and fsc on the same loads went up $.20

Driver A revenue: $935
Driver B revenue: $1056

Driver A fuel costs: $244
Driver B fuel costs: $377

Net A: $691
Net B: $679

Slower driver wins out there.

 

We're not company drivers

 

It's cool.
Yeah not here if so id say it's 80

 

For what it's worth in my recertification.. they brought up my logs.. speeds etc to go over.
They showed that I went 70, 72 at different times but was told it's fine being the speed limit for that road was 70.
As long as you're not wildly breaking the speed limit i dont think Schneider cares.
