IS IT TIME TO RETHINK HOW DRIVERS ARE PAID
Surveys reveal that fleets under the ELD rule are driving fewer miles since the mandate took effect, resulting in less productivity and a smaller paycheck for those drivers who are paid by the mile. Activity based pay may be the answer to increase both productivity and driver pay.

AUTOMATING DRIVER PAY (PART 1): THE CHALLENGES OF CALIFORNIA LABOR LAWS, ELDS.
California has a reputation for passing controversial laws that are later adopted by other states and the federal government. At the heart of the issue is piece-rate pay. While the industry standard for interstate fleets is to base driver pay on mileages, percentage-of-revenue, or flat rates for loads, the practice is under scrutiny by California courts for intrastate haulers. One solution to the problem is automating Activity Based Pay.
