Understanding the Fuel Bonus

Below is a video reviewing how the Fuel Bonus works at FirstFleet inc.  All drivers will need to see their manager to receive the Target Levels for their specific terminal.

Fuel Bonus Overview Video

What must a driver do to be eligible to earn fuel bonus?

Qualifying for a fuel bonus:

To be paid a fuel bonus, any eligible driver must meet the MPG requirements for his/her terminal and truck model/type.

Fuel Economy Targets:

To provide a quick and easy view of the target levels for each terminal, we have deployed a page on the portal which can be accessed by your manager called Fuel Economy Targets.  Once they run & print the report for your terminal, you can analyze which bonus level you have reached this quarter.  The targets that a driver's performance will be judged against are those of the truck in which the driver logged the most miles. The MPG that a driver achieves is cumulative across ALL trucks he/she may have driven. You need to know several things about the truck in which you have driven the most miles such as year, APU & axle.  If you see NA, it means that the factor does not apply at that specific location.

Fuel Economy Target Reviewing:

You can find your current fuel economy performance either on the portal or in your FirstFleet app.  The app is the simplest and is what is shown in the video above. It should be listed on your homepage for easy access.
