Swift O/Os ... OTR Pay Raise Coming

Anything for company drivers?

 

Company drivers already get extra pay for loaded miles under 300.

 

How good is your information? If this is true (and I really hope it is) it wil take away most of my misgivings for accepting short mileage loads.

 

Did anyone even notice we got a half cent raise allready? lookat you base rate it is .925,yeah!

 

supposedly company drivers are going to start getting extra pay based on their ranking, soonish anyway (but soonish could be 5 years) so Ill keep ######## about how platinum does nothing for me until it does come in

 

I think it should be based on performance and time served - not the ranking.

Too many things can lower your ranking that has nothing to do with your performance.

I was at gold, and now at bronze.
Why?
Mainly because I had a truck that was in the shop for nearly 25% of the time I had it.

It is a hard hole to pull yourself out of.

But I have no service failures and no longer any accidents counted, and my safety rating has been going up.
But without the average miles, the ranking won't go up - because that is what it is mainly based on.
And this past week won't help one bit, since I was helping out at a dedicated Swift Walmart account here in Florida. Low miles averaging 100-300 per day.

 

The ranking thing kinda gets me too... I have two really good weeks, followed by a weak week. Im hoving between gold and silver and had two weeks in the last 6 months at platiumnin. (sp?)

 

I think that I could get used to this new pay scale since alot of my loads are under 500. Have been hearing a rumor for little while, possible kicking in some of the FSC for mt miles. This would help when looking at loads.
