If there is one thing that never changes in the trucking industry, it’s the fact that everybody is trying to make as much money as possible. While this can prove to be a challenge at times and seem out of the drivers’ control, one way for smart drivers to take back control and maximize every paycheck is by saving at the gas pump and valuing every drop of fuel that enters their truck. Listed below are five steps these drivers can take so that they can improve their MPG.

Attention Drivers: Want to earn a 10% raise while driving no added miles? Check out our Per Diem program! One benefit offered to drivers at Merx Global that seems to fly under the radar is our Per Diem program. Offered to any employee who travels out of town overnight (i.e. most of our OTR truck drivers), the program allows for employees to increase their take-home pay by roughly 10% (or the equivalent of an added $0.03 to $0.04/per mile ) on a weekly basis. What the Per Diem program offers is a reimbursement allowance for employees when a driver incurs expenses while spending time away from their home. This accounts for things such as meals and incidental expenses. Now, you may already be thinking, “Ahh forget it… this is going to get super complicated and it’s not even worth the hassle.” Wait! You’ve got it all wrong. This program is actually very simple and straightforward. Rather than going through the trouble of processing receipts and requiring drivers to track every
