I had forgotten you switched brands of truck, thank you for the explanation and the screen shots. Every penny counts! :)

My guess would be that is the Northeast regional rate. All lightweights, less mileage and practically no fuel bonus. it makes up for lack of miles. I will try to confirm that

Thanks Rainy. I found that sheet and I can email it to you. Also I have another question which is about our company and I don't feel comfortable asking it here. If it is ok please email me your ID to kundaka7@gmail.com. thanks again

Regional:

Regional Route

Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.

Jj, the whole point of having a forum is so we all can learn from the questions asked in here. That's the whole reason we had to stop allowing private messaging. You can ask anything in here, and I'll bet a hundred different people were wondering the same thing. Get over it. We're not judgemental in here.

Yesterday the announcement came regarding pay and bonus changes for company teams. They are as follows:

Team Truck split of 55cpm up to 3000 miles

3001 to 4000 miles is paid at 80cpm 4000+ miles is paid at 85cpm

Example of 5000 mile week:

55xpm x 3000 miles = $1650

80cpm x 1000 miles= $800

85cpm x 1000 miles = $850

$3300 ÷ by 2 drivers = $1650 per week per driver, as brand new drivers.

PLUS fuel bonuses ranging 50% to 100% of the savings. Plus OTD and safety bonuses.

Yes, they are encouraging teams. And team trainers got an increase too.

The new fuel bonus structure is as follows:

Currently we get 50% of the fuel savings after 7.75 MPG average for the week.

New:

50% of savings 7.75+ MPG

60% of savings 9.25+ MPG

70% of savings 9.75+ MPG

80% of savings 10.25+ MPG

90% of savings 10.75+ MPG

100% of savings 11.25+ MPG

Hey Kearney, I have a question about the fuel mileage bonus. Let’s say you are in the 9.25 mpg for a 5000 mile week, what would that amount to? Thanks

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

That would amount to a miracle! Solo drivers don't turn 5,000 miles.

Papa Buck.... The fuel bonuses increased too. So now we get a percentage of the savings. It isnt just the miles per gallon, but the net fuel costs.

So when you follow the Mac 27 which includes Primes discount, and follow the routing for lower IFTA tax, as well as gaining on mpg... It adds up. We now get a percentage of the fuel savings. And for some reason my Gmail is only going back 2 weeks.

In a team situation as you describe, the team mates split the bonus.

If you check out my video on Team Pay stubs ... That was before the increase this summer... But I am pretty sure I show the gross and bonus amounts.

Sorry Old School I was following her example of a team that drove 5000 miles in a week. Sorry for any confusion.
