So I think Swift owes me thousands of dollars over the past 3 years.

    So I'm a night driver on one of their dedicated accounts and 3 years ago they gave us a upgraded pay package. We get the miles and the stop pay, but since I'm a night driver, I get an extra five cents per mile.

    Monday through Thursday, I get an extra five cents that is labeled night pay. But Friday through Sunday, I get an extra five cents that's labeled "weekend" pay, but I am not getting the extra 5 cents for night pay.

    If I'm strictly a night driver, how come I'm not getting night pay for Friday through Sunday?

    The daytime drivers are getting an extra 5 cents per mile labeled weekend pay for driving Friday through Sunday.

    I'm getting an extra 5 cents per mile that's labeled weekend pay, but there is nothing showing that I'm getting an extra 5 cents per mile for the night pay as well. That only shows up from Monday through Thursday.

    I tried to ask around, but no one has an answer. If I add everything up from the past 3 years when the new pay was upgraded, I am missing out on over $8,000.

    Read your company pay policy very carefully, and read it again. If I understand your concern, you are not getting the weekend bonus while driving at night on a weekend? My guess would be, somewhere in the wording of the company pay policy, you cannot collect both when driving during a weekend.

    Friday through Sunday I'm getting the weekend pay that pays 5 cents per mile, but I'm not getting the night driver pay that pays 5 cents per mile Friday through Sunday.

    Call payroll and they can explain how it work or if they owe you back money.

    Gotcha, my mistake, I had it reversed but the same outcome. You believe you were shorted 5cents per mile while you drove at nite, on the weekends.

    When I was nights hauling fuel, I was Tuesday-Saturday. Only got the $1/hr night differential and no weekend. Dayshift got the weekend differential because of no nights.

    Called payroll and they are in the dark about it as well. There's confusion all around and no one can give me a straight answer.

    It's best to put your concern in writing to a upper level executive and request a written response.

    Call Driver Payroll and ask for a supervisor/manager - then simplify your question by saying, "I did an audit of my paystubs, and i have not been receiving my night time pay for Friday and Saturdays". Make sure you write down the names, their title, dates and times of every communication
