Swift Transportation
Intermodal Intermodal

I just want some information about this stupid an absurd way from this company to pay the driver in the intermodal accounts in decatur, ga and dallas, tx... We used to get paid $40/load plus $0.35cents per mile on any trip. This was around $200 a day. May be a little more or less depending on how busy the day was. About a month ago we had a meeting, ms. Tyson the intermodal manager for swift, decided that we dont deserve any descend pay or a good way of living and he and his closer staff cut our pay by 40% to 60%..

Now we get paid about $0.26 cents per trip plus what hi call "spiff" load pay. Which is $18 if the load its less than 49 miles... If the load its more than 49miles we only get paid for miles. No spiff. And the rate its about $0.31 cents per mile... This will put you about $55/day to $90/day. All this was decided in one weekend and the people working in this account, some for about 10years, other only moths are now facing the dilemma... Thanks to the effort by the intermodal management personnel who clearly dont give a dam about the people who generate the income for the company while they are filling their pockets...

I guess my question its:

Its crap like this legal??? Can we do something about it other just send e-mails to this people who probably don even care to read them?

Or do we just have to suck it up and find another job. Which Im in the process anyway... Thx if anyone can give us any real advice!!!
