    nah, this dude, with his bandanna wrapped around his head like a biker(...lol!) always bragged about his triple digit trucks, 1000 mile days, all the "better" companys he'd worked for before Maverick, all his violations/tickets....etc

    What mileage does Maverick expect drivers to get and what to achieve the fuel bonus?

    I belive that you need to achieve a 6.8 mpg to stay in good graces.....correct me if I am wrong John or anyone else.

    they require 6.5+, the bonus starts out at 6.85.

    anything lower than 6.5 for a couple of quarters will get you a phone call I hear, they will work with you on your driving habits, and put you in contact with a couple drivers that can coach you along.

    they also check the truck to make certain it's not a mechanical issue.

    if all that doesn't work, they simply terminate you and put you on a bus home.

    Update: The other night I was doing my post trip and I heard the hissing sound on the passenger side of the truck. I thought 'wow it hasn't done that since April....maybe it fixed itself'. Sure enough my truck started using DEF again. I haven't put any in it since late April LOL. Now I will have to pay attention to which fuel island I pull into again.
     
    JimTheHut Thanks this.
