Swift Orientation Day 2 Sumner WA
Today was the final day of orientation. We had a few different people from the terminal that came in and gave a small presentation. Most of the day was a bunch of useless information and a quick tour of the shop.
The terminal manager did come in for about an hour and gave a great talk on macro 10 and how important it is to get it accurate. He also spoke about fueling and fueling directions.
He spent about 20 minutes talking about DCI, and how Swift would save $16,000 a day if every driver cut there idle time by one hour. He did say that the Sumner terminal is at an 18% DCI, and the company is well above 25%.
He had some real neat calculations to show how many miles it takes to pay for an accident involving broken hinges on a trailer. Pretty neat insight, if his figures are correct. He used a profit margin of $0.13cpm, which is an old number and he said that it is currently more like .03cpm. With a minor incident of $500 damage, it would take over 3600 miles to pay for the damages. It was cool to see this on paper and putting a number to the damages.
Our class was released at 2:30, and the lazy facilitator said she won't submit anyone for a driver code till Thursday morning because it was too hot today. So now we all have to wait till at least Friday till we even have a chance to get on our mentors truck!
So some of us will be sitting around the terminal thursday just to make sure we don't get forgotten.
