    A new contract is in affect, you are to receive 75 dollars for Walmart store loads under 200 miles, be sure your driver manager pays you this flat rate BEFORE you empty your load or you will be paid mileage on the trip...Swift in there normal screw its drivers fashion is doing this on purpose! They are not informing us of this, and once your paid mileage its about a 2 to 3 week process to get it corrected.

    So say you run the 200 miles....that's .37 1/2 a mile.

    Say you run it 100 miles... That's .75 cent a mile....



    What's the problem?.... Miscommunication? Welcome to Mega carriers...

    But it does get corrected ... Don't see how this is malvalent. Swift isn't saving any money by delaying paying the few $$$ difference between milage and flat ... probably costs them more to fix the issue.

    The only thing Swift can be accused of is implementing a change - a change that benifits the driver - before having all the back office bugs worked out.

    I guess the prudent thing to have done, is to withhold the change until the bugs were worked out. The way you would still be getting milage pay and would not have the to wait 2-3 weeks for the extra flat rate pay.

    #### sorry, I said anything...guess its not the Industry just the people in it!

    I put this out there so other drivers would be given knowledge of it, but instead one figures the pay based on the 75 then calculates it out to mileage...no its .39 a mile so you run 100 miles you get $39 instead $75, another doesnt care that the company keeps your money because in alot of cases its not corrected.

    Then theres the forum Nazi...last I looked, the titles reads...report bad companies here!

    You said it pays $75 for under 200 miles... Which means.... Whatever you run under 200 miles, you get paid flat fee of 75....

    Wouldn't mileage pay be a better deal for that? 199 miles times $1.20 = $238.80.

    Unless you're talking about drop and stop pay being $75 bucks in addition to mileage pay-- I'm confused.
