Swift - New Pay Scale complete details

Lepton is thinking of mac 34 for "early", but it's also used to change your PTA.

Problem is, if you have an "appointment" time....even if it's a drop, the system will not let you set your PTA before that.

Mac 30 can be helpful when you get platinum status, however, the best thing to do is send mac 34 unfilled in except aaaallll the way down at the bottom there is a box for "linehaul" planner info, you can choose "O" for origin or "D" for destination, you want destination. Send that and it will tell you who the planner is for where your load delivers, call and talk to the planner about getting you set up with a load BEFORE you get to where you're going. They have the power to set it on you a day or more ahead of time instead of mac 30s 18 hr PTA rule

I tell people all the time that your only advocate here is YOU. Your dm can be helpful sometimes depending on who it is, but usually they have 40+ trucks on their board and all they can do is "msg a planner". You can get twice as much done in half the time once you learn how to work the system.

Holler at me if you need advice.

 

That is good advice, spectacle13.

My DM recently had as many as 70 drivers to keep track of.
Theirs' is not an easy job.

I like to call him once a week or so, just to keep voices familiar.
But he loves me because I don't bother him with too much fluff stuff.

 

I used MAC34 to get planner info for awhile but recently its stopped working for me. I can't change my PTA or view it, or get planner info. Almost feel like they disabled it for me.

 

You can do it via the in gauge app as well when you look at load info, there is a small bar with a "+" sign that says planner info you can press and drop down to view the planner info for the load.

 

cool, thanks for that info!

 

Weekly pay is taxed on the presumption that you will make that much every week. You will make up for it on low pay weeks or get it back on the return. Since the witholding rules cant predict earnings for the rest of the year it assumes you will continue making that much. When the dust settles you will be taxed the same on every dollar no matter where it came from.

 

The camera facing inside is troublesome. She will want her face covered when she comes up for air.

 

When you get a big bonus in a certain week it can mess things up.
And that happens 4-5 times a year.
4 for the bonus checks, and one for vacation pay.

That vacation pay gets me every time with child support.
It is an extra pay check, and they take out the child support just like a regular check.

 

So keep a bag over her head?

You can cover the camera when off duty.

You can not, however, cover the audio.

 

Does Swift have drive cameras in all their trucks?
