Reduce safety incidents and costs

There's no such thing as a good safety incident, but while major incidents are typically managed through established processes like insurance claims and internal review, it's the more frequent "minor" incidents that can really add up. These preventable incidents, such as backing into loading bays, parking lot dings and equipment damage, can have assets in the shop and have a big impact on miles at the end of the month. By implementing a well-structured bonus program you make it easy for all staff to keep safety as a top priority, rewarding those drivers that excel and fostering a culture that goes beyond mere compliance.

The Challenge: Underutilized drivers leave money on the table

1

Drivers turning down profitable end-of-month loads

2

No visibility into driver utilization and mileage gaps

3

Missed revenue from underutilized capacity

How Fleets Maximize Driver Miles with FleetOps

Personalized Mileage Targets

Drivers see targets that feel personal, but the rules are set by the fleet. Most fleets set different mileage goals by division—local, OTR, teams, or specialized. Clear, direct goals drivers can track live in the Driver AX app.

Live Utilization Tracking in the Driver AX App

Drivers always know where they stand—miles driven, bonus progress, and what's needed to unlock the next tier. Real-time feedback in dollar terms shows exactly what the next load adds to their pay.

Coach Smarter with Shared Visibility

Fleet managers see the same data as drivers. They can spot underperformance early and coach with precision to improve utilization, helping drivers maximize their earnings while boosting fleet productivity.

Fleet Performance at a Glance

Executives get a high-level view of utilization with dashboards that show trends fleet-wide and let them drill into individual driver data to identify opportunities and optimize operations.

Common Mileage Program Configurations

Most fleets rely on paid miles from the TMS rather than ELD miles for calculations. The aim is to motivate drivers to push beyond baseline loads and capture those profitable end-of-month runs. Tiered systems that effectively share profit on extra miles are the norm.

Tiered Mileage Bonuses

Drivers earn higher bonuses as they hit higher mileage tiers. For example: 10,000 miles = +$0.01/mile, 11,000 miles = +$0.02/mile, 12,000 miles = +$0.03/mile.

Division-Specific Targets

Set different mileage goals by division—local, OTR, teams, or specialized routes—ensuring fair and relevant targets for every driver type.

Per-Mile Pay Incentives

Reward drivers with per-mile bonuses that increase with performance, sharing profits on extra miles and profitable end-of-month runs.

Compliance Bonus Incentives

Spot bonuses for clean roadside inspections

Progressive Target Tiers

Configure multiple achievement levels that unlock higher rewards as drivers push beyond baseline expectations.

Monthly Performance Bonuses

Combine mileage targets with monthly performance bonuses to maximize motivation and reward consistent high achievers.

TMS-Based Mile Calculations

Most fleets rely on paid miles from the TMS rather than ELD miles for calculations, ensuring accurate tracking of revenue-generating miles.
