    Swift owner ops or owner ops in general?

    If a Swift o/o is following the fuel plan, they'll lose thier butt.

    If I miss a fuel stop then I will need to call my DM when I do stop for fuel.
    He will then re-optimize my fuel route based on where I am.
    I am sent a new fuel route, usually with the truck stop I am at for fuel.

    We only have one bonus for performance, paid quarterly.
    It is based on miles driven, on time ratio and number of accidents. (Calculated weekly on a rolling one year average.)

    There are 5 levels... Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond.
    Bronze pays .5 cpm on all miles during the previous quarter.
    Silver pays 1 cpm, Gold 4, Platinum 5.

    Diamond gets 7 cpm (I think). Diamond drivers get the big Diamond logo on the truck and the option to get a new truck each year.
    You reach Diamond status after 36 consecutive months as Platinum.

    Sounds like my experience in the Navy … needed to keep out of trouble for 4 consecutive years for a Good Conduct Ribbon … eight years and never got one.
