READ MORE

We needed a credible source of information and data to thoroughly vet transitioning our pay program to an hourly model for our drivers and to then sell that position to our stakeholders. We were looking for the right solution to help us recruit new drivers and retain our current drivers. Using NTI’s data and guidance, we were able to simplify how we paid our drivers, communicate the change to them about what to expect in their paycheck, to remain competitive in the market, and to make sure we had the right information to communicate to our leadership team about why we were making these changes.
