Back To Press Releases    RWI Transportation Institutes Unique Incentive-Based Driver Safety Program    Release Date 3/13/2012            Contact:   Cindy Schmieg, ABC Account Executive MindShare Strategies, Inc. 952-442-5638 x205 cindy@mindshare.bz       Wilder, Ky., March 13, 2012 — RWI Transportation, an asset-based logistics company providing regional and national truckload, LTL, expedited, and refrigerated warehousing services, announces a driver pay increase of two cents per loaded mile, with one cent linked to a new safety bonus program. The increase is effective April 1, 2012. "Throughout our 56-year history, RWI has been committed to driver safety while serving our customers. The driver safety bonus program, along with our other behavior-based safety programs, is an extension of that safety focus,” said Richard Bauer, executive vice president and general manager of RWI Transportation. “Innovative programs like these ensure we are able to remain focused on safe, efficient operations while offering our customers the truck capacity they need.” RWI’s Safety Bonus Program is based on a driver qualifying the last day of each calendar month. Qualified drivers receive the one-cent safety payment on all dispatched loaded miles for completed trips. Disqualifying events include roadside inspections resulting in a point assessment under CSA guidelines, not having company-required paperwork current and certain types of vehicular collisions. Drivers not qualifying in one month are eligible to qualify the next month. Managing in excess of 100,000 shipments annually, RWI handles temperature-controlled and dry freight, and also has specialized expertise in handling fresh produce and other perishable food commodities. RWI is an affiliate of the Castellini Group of Companies, which combines to form one of the largest distributors of fresh produce in the United States.
