The driver scorecard is key to Celadon's new WageLock guaranteed weekly pay structure and bonus program. The program allows company drivers whose driver scorecard puts them in the top two tiers for the week to "lock in" up to $1,000 per week, regardless of how many miles they drive. The program boosts pay for drivers who may have issues that affect their miles, such as layovers, maintenance problems and running short loads during the week. "For tier 1 and tier 2 drivers who fall below a weekly payout threshold, this pulls them up to give consistency," Dou- glass said. All company drivers who are paid by the mile are eligible to participate with some exclusions such as switching between divisions and number of vacation days taken in a given week. Drivers must also scan in their paperwork from the previous trips in that week. "The goal is to get them to get their paperwork in quickly," Douglass said. A technology leader, Celadon Trucking was recognized with CCJ's 2015 Innovator of the Year for developing technology to score customers and loads in its network and for creating a career path in its cus- tomer service department. The company sees its latest data-driven solutions as a way to make drivers, especially those just com- ing out of its new driver school, successful and to help it compete in an increasingly tight driver market, Douglass said. "We like to fully utilize technology," he said. "We're a technology company that happens to run trucks." F 18 www.FlatbedTruckingJobs.com January 2016 FLEET FOCUS PUZZLE
