Driver Bonus
Yankee Trails is pleased to offer all eligible Motor Coach Operators our
10-1-1 Performance Based Bonus Program
Each Of The Following Will Be Calculated And Applied To Your Bonus Every 3 Months (Quarterly):
$0.10 per mile driven will *potentially be applied, depending on the Driver's Safety and Efficiency Scores, calculated automatically using the Samsara system.
$0.01 per mile will **potentially be applied, depending on your Customer Survey Results
$0.01 per mile will ***potentially be applied, depending on your AVATAR (Bus Safety Course) enrollment status.
*Up to $0.10 per mile will be earned every 3 months, minus points deducted resulting from any Safety Events triggered while operating a Yankee Trails owned vehicle. Some examples include speeding*, following too closely, harsh turns, harsh braking, rolling thru stop signs, etc. Your Safety Score can be accessed at any time while you are logged into the Samsara Driver App. Points will also be deducted based on your Efficiency (Idling) Score, also accessible using the Samsara Driver App. BOTH scores are reset to 100 each day.
Idling: Please Note The Following: Drivers are permitted to idle their bus up to 20% of their total drive time each day, without penalty. Beginning at 21%, the Driver's Efficiency Score begins to be reduced. At 51% the Efficiency Score will be ZERO (0) for the day. If a Driver continues to display a disregard for our policy regarding idling, further manual penalties may incur, along with an unpaid suspension and termination, if necessary.
*Speeding: Please Note The Following:
- Light Speeding = Less than 6 mph above the speed limit for a duration of at least 60 seconds (no penalty)
- Moderate Speeding = 6-10 mph above the speed limit for a duration of at least 60 seconds (0.4 point deduction/10 minutes of speeding)
- Heavy Speeding = 11-15 mph above the speed limit for a duration of at least 60 seconds (0.4 point deduction/10 minutes of speeding)
- Severe Speeding = More than 15 mph above the speed limit for a duration of at least 20 seconds (17.9 point deduction/10 minutes of speeding)
**Up to $0.01 per mile will be earned every 3 months for all Customer Survey Results of 4.0 or higher (based on a scale of 1-5 where 1 is poor and 5 is excellent). Drivers will not be penalized (have deductions taken) for an average score of 0-3.99, but will not earn the $0.01 portion of their bonus without an average score above 4.0.
***Up to $0.01 per mile will be earned every 3 months for all AVATAR Training that has been scheduled for each respective quarter. Failure to complete all AVATAR Training Courses that have been assigned each quarter will result in the Driver not receiving this portion of their quarterly bonus.
