DRIVERS in the Pointer Group now have a chance of winning a £5 bonus each quarter in the group's road safety competition. The odds? Something like 8 to 1, I should think.
The depot with the best quarterly average number of accidentfree miles will be awarded a safety shield—solid silver on polished oak, valued at £500—and each driver a £5 bonus.
There's a shield for the best general haulage depot and another for the best tanker depot, and 16 separate sections will be taking part from Pointer depots all over England.
But, I learn, points in the competition can also be lost for damage to loads caused by carelessness, items lost en route and claims from bad handling. The first awards will be made in January.
