A good majorityof bonus drivers in our building are guys who jump the clock , sort thru and dispatch out of their truck. While I would be in favor of some type of bonus system , the one in place is not fair to all drivers. But if the union starts to recognize time measurement and allowances that than opens the door for drivers to be fired for off performance.
If you follow the job by the companies methods , and by the book I mean , I dont think there is a driver who can make bonus. While you can work faster , I dont believe that means you work better or safer.. Do you ever exit out the drivers door , how about knocking and waiting at the door at a residental stop , run from the truck to the door, do you call a pickup to see if they have anything instead of driving to the stop. Bonus encourages short cuts , short cuts the company would like you to do but hang you if you get caught.
My feeling is if you vote to keep bonus than you better not complain about over dispatch. Go ahead a file your over 9.5 grievence , but don't whine when you are over dispatched.
