[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 494552, member: 5485"] As far as i'm concerned, I would be happy if the company did away with bonus across the whole world. I've been here 20 years and made my share of bonus. The problems with it far and away outweigh the benefits. Sure you get what seems like 'atta boy' money, but it's always at the expense of sacrificing service or safety, mostly safety. We still have guys bonusing big time here, but when they cover my route I always hear back about what grouches they are to my good customers, the ones we are trying to keep going so we all have jobs. I've actually had customers cancel their pickup accounts due to cover drivers 'forgetting' to pick their pkgs up, but BOY did it look great on the WOR!! You can only go so fast before you start fouling everything up. It's also unfortunate that the comparisons between drivers doing similar routes always show up that are S P E E D based and are not an accurate picture of the job being done with proper methods. But with bonus in place the company subsidizes risky driving and yet preaches all the lists and lists of SWM's and driver safety. [/QUOTE]
