PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 26, 2012--
Swift Transportation Company (NYSE:SWFT), www.joinswift.com,
recently announced their next step to becoming “Best in Class” by
awarding its ranked company drivers with a new Quarterly Performance Pay
bonus. This exciting new incentive program is designed to retain and
reward drivers on their level of excellence. Swift company drivers are
currently ranked based on their safety, service and productivity level.
This new program begins on July 1, 2012 and bonuses will be paid at the
end of each fiscal quarter to ranked drivers who are employed the entire
quarter.
The new Quarterly Performance Pay is in addition to the current pay and
motivates drivers to improve their ranking through focused attention to
safety, on-time service and miles driven. The higher the driver’s rank,
the higher the Quarterly Performance Pay will be. Based on the driver’s
performance, they can earn up to 6 bonus cents per mile.
“As you can see from this new plan, we are serious
about retaining and rewarding the best drivers in America.” Richard
Stocking, President & COO
