ABSTRACT Owner operator truck drivers have been dealing with a long-standing problem: compensation per distance. Owner operators who get paid according to these criteria get a fixed payment per distance traveled regardless of how long it takes to actually cover the distance. This means that there are numerous situations that truck drivers are working; yet they might be unpaid because the truck is not moving. To compensate for the unfairness of the pay rate models, owner operators have continuously increased their working hours. In addition, many studies have confirmed that a fair payment is among the most important factors that truck drivers take into consideration when deciding to leave a company. Consequently, an unfair pay rate, along with the hard labor conditions truck drivers suffer from, inevitably leads to high turnover rates. For all these reasons, our study aims at developing a fair, financially sustainable pay rate for owner operators that will help companies ensure a stable and highly experienced workforce by making sure that owner operators can cover the real expenses of their working activity. Finally, in order to prove that our pay rate was of practical use, we test the model on one of the largest Spanish agro-food companies.

为业主运营商的卡车司机设计公平的、财务上可持续的工资率。建模和案例研究

摘要 车主运营商的卡车司机一直在处理一个长期存在的问题：按距离补偿。根据这些标准获得报酬的业主运营商，无论实际行驶距离需要多长时间，每行驶的距离都会获得固定的报酬。这意味着卡车司机在许多情况下工作；但是他们可能因为卡车没有移动而没有得到报酬。为了弥补薪酬模式的不公平，业主经营者不断增加工作时间。此外，许多研究证实，公平支付是卡车司机在决定离开公司时考虑的最重要因素之一。因此，不公平的工资率以及卡车司机所遭受的艰苦劳动条件，不可避免地导致高离职率。出于所有这些原因，我们的研究旨在为业主运营商制定公平、财务上可持续的工资率，通过确保业主运营商能够支付其工作活动的实际费用，帮助公司确保稳定且经验丰富的劳动力。最后，为了证明我们的工资率具有实际用途，我们在西班牙最大的农业食品公司之一上测试了该模型。
