[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 664968, member: 22610"] It's really surprising that they haven't eliminated bonus. Let's take an example, say you have a center with 40 drivers and the center is running 40 hours underallowed every day, it's costing the company $1600 a day in pay, in excess of the scheduled hourly compensation. That really adds up. Of course, the argument made is that the drivers will just work slower (or dumber, I guess), stay out longer, and collect the money either way. There are two flaws with that position. First, some drivers work fast and want to be home or at other places, and will be underallowed regardless of whether they are making bonus. And, second, it implies that the system and the allowances are fair and accurate. Simply put, there are quirks in the allowance system that allow certain areas to make lots and lots of bonus, and they have nothing to do with working smart or working hard. You know the places where the driver backs in and three guys on the dock start handing the packages and totes to the driver as fast as he or she can put them on the shelf. Drivers go in and raid those stops that have piles of smalls, and come away two or three hours under. It would be interesting to know exactly how much money in bonus the company pays to drivers annually. Any ideas, P-man? [/QUOTE]
