Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

With 50K, I can pay my bills, and put 35K in the savings account and still live good. It's all a matter of how one has set themselves up.

 

Let us know how your new job is at Swift. LOL..!

As an hourly driver I can honestly say that I’d never go back to cpm. Any other pay programs would be heavily scrutinized before accepting one.

 

That does seem like a fair and balanced program that would work good for drivers and the company.

The fatal flaw, in my opinion, the program my company laid out is they set the goal to high. 9900 miles what is the goal, anything below that still pay 9900 miles and anything above it paid a hefty bonus.

they should’ve probably set the threshold at 7500 miles with bonuses kicking in at 9900 miles. They eventually started putting people on a program like that but they waited too long and we lost a few drivers with hurt feelings when they got bumped down to the lower programs.

The numbers don’t lie though, when you have guys doing mostly oversize limited to daylight travel turning in 14 to 15,000 mile months there’s no reason guys who do you only legal freight can’t do 7500 in a month.

 

Amen. Hourly driver as well and I’d never go back. It’s the most honest way to pay your drivers.

If there are slackers, it’s up to management to look at productivity metrics and do their job - manage the slackers, not use it as an excuse to pay ALL the drivers to the lowest common denominator using cents per mile.
