While the truck driver signing bonuses seem like easy money for the driver, in most cases, getting that bonus means a big commitment. As a part of the deal, the driver will need to commit to a certain amount of time (minimum one year) with the company.
This might sounds good on paper, but in practice, it might not be all as it seems!
See, what good you will get if you as an owner have a driver that is stuck with you, against his/ her free will?
The problem here is that if a driver is committed to stay with you, with this sign-in bonus, even if he or she becomes dissatisfied and resentful and wants to leave, the promised bonus is hanging above his/her head, and he is stuck with you! At lease for a little while!
So you will have the driver there, driving for you, trying to get that promised bonus and then leave. But on the flip side, at that point you also have a driver that is there just to be there till the time for leaving comes.
