New Load One Gold Rewards Program!

jelliott · Jul 6, 2012

We are very proud to announce the new Load One Gold Rewards Program for our drivers. We feel this will be one of the very best reward programs in the industry. It will reward our drivers in a number of areas and offers them REAL rewards. Our emphasis has always been on retention versus recruiting. While we currently have one of the lowest turnover rates in our industry sector we still know we can improve. This program affirms all of that and at the same time places an emphasis on critical areas like safety, training, and actionable survey feedback.

We also feel this will be a great tool for our fleet owners as it offers yet another reason for drivers to want to run for them at Load One.

For the complete information on this program our drivers will need to visit our web site at load1.com and click on the online driver resources tab.

Super program, John.

Easy to see why Load 1 stands alone for taking care of its drivers, O/O's and Fleet Owners.

One question: How many points do we get for putting up with a certain Canadian????

Rocketman · Jul 6, 2012

I havent had a chance to dig into it very deep yet, but it sounds cool and I trust LoadOne to get it right.

How many points does it take to get the Jag?

jelliott · Jul 6, 2012

Now that would be funny. 10 points earns you lunch with John at Isis.

I think we will have little bumps to work out but I think it is a great concept. Instead of unattainable goals and worthless rewards, this is truly designed to reward for doing a good job and loyalty. As well the surveys will help us to get honest confidential data and feedback that we can use to improve our side. We hope to grow the program and to make it even more rewarding as we go.

We didn't want to imitate so many of the so so programs out there. Once again we wanted to innovate and lead!

***copied from the locations thread*** So , At the completion of the survey they get a code and a link that points them to a the awards sight an a one question quiz whereas they enter the code. Immediately upon entering the code the points are loaded.

Two things:

1. When I first logged in, it sent me directly to the page where you change your password. I couldn't get past that page even after I changed the password. So, I went back (back button) and started over at the original login screen and it didn't want to recognize me at all at that point. Sooo.... I tried logging in with my new password and I got in. So, once you've changed your password, you may need to back up to the original screen and use your new password from there (Scottm???)

2. Once I had completed the survey, it directed me back to the login screen again where I logged back in, but no quiz. ----> Click on opportunities, then upper left directly under the word GOLD, is the tab for quizzes..click that

jelliott · Jul 6, 2012

So did it show you completed the quiz and awarded you the points?

Yes.

At first it was showing the points when in certain areas and not showing them when in others, but I just logged back in and they're showing up everywhere now.

jelliott · Jul 6, 2012

Great. Scott hopefully this will solve your issue as well.

Wolfeman68 · Jul 6, 2012

I really didn't have any problems and it credited the points properly, but it opened four separate browsers by the time it was finished.

My head hurts.

I see some really neat rewards in there. A person (like myself) who has intentions of getting a tv for his van/truck might want to save up points for one..or several other things that I saw. Like most of the point/rewards stuff we see, some of the items are not really something that I see as practical to a trucking related program, but others may like that stuff more so than the practical stuff that I like to see.

Personally, for me, I like to see stuff like truck routed GPS units, Sirius/XM radio systems, maybe a 1 month or 1 yr subscription to Sirius/XM, laptop stands...etc, etc. Stuff that we would buy..or like to buy...on our own. Anytime I see something that I was planning to buy anyway and I see a way to earn it in a program like this, the program becomes more valuable.

Overall, it's a very neat program that once again shows LoadOne's commitment to it's owner's and drivers!

Geez, just try logging in with your new password. Your just upset that Nula outperformed you...yet again...this week.

cheri1122 · Jul 6, 2012

You guys crack me up.

I like that it isn't the usual rewards deal, based on miles run [not entirely within our control] or time spent in service [personal & family issues happen to everyone].
Another home run, John.

PS I was watching "Undercover Boss" on cable, and thinking that John Elliot would need the special effects team of a major studio to do that - and that's a good thing, IMO.

Super program?....we'll see..

Who awards points? for what tasks and at what frequency?

Can you be more specific and when and for what, points will be awarded? (same as above)

Will it take me 10 yrs to collect enough points to get a toaster? LOL

The success (value ) of this program will eventually be rated when the estimated value of the cash out period can be established.

With that said....it is creative and something different....kudos John

You can't claim to be an industry leader if you are not that one setting that standard...and I do believe John you are always nudging the bar higher...Congrats...
