The annual safety bonuses are an incentive for safe driving. If a professional driver has an accident – defined as any time the equipment returns to the yard in a different condition than the way it left – a portion of their potential bonus is subtracted, president & CEO Paul Karvois said.

"This bonus program goes a long way in reinforcing our focus on safe driving and security," Karvois said. "It’s a win-win situation because not only are our customers ensured safe, on-time delivery, but our professional drivers are shown appreciation for the professionalism they display, day-in and day-out."
