Swift Transportation Partners with Payless ShoeSource for Footwear Solutions

Trucking Industry Leader Teams Up with Payless’ safeTstep™ to Benefit

Employees

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Swift

Transportation Company (NYSE:SWFT), the nation’s leading full

truckload carrier, announces its partnership with safeTstep™, a brand of

Payless ShoeSource®. Through this partnership, Swift employees will

receive discounts to purchase safeTstep’s industry-leading,

slip-resistant footwear at more than 3,000 Payless retail stores or www.payless.com.

In addition, employees will receive a similar discount for Payless’

Dexter Work footwear line.

“I am amazed at the comfort of these shoes and the slip-resistance they

have. I have been wearing the safeTstep dress shoes every work day for

the last month and they have been comfortable from the minute I put them

on. The resistance to slipping these shoes offer blow away even

sneakers, which I often think of as being somewhat slip resistant,” says

Victor Malchesky, Director of Safety at Swift Transportation. “I just

don’t see how you can beat the protection and comfort these shoes

provide.”

“As the business-to-business arm of Payless ShoeSource, safeTstep is

committed to partnering with companies like Swift that put a high value

on a culture of safety in the workplace,” adds Mike Vitelli, Chief

Operating Officer, Payless ShoeSource. “Corporate footwear programs and

safeTstep by Payless are the perfect fit for companies looking to keep

employees safe, and help prevent accidents related to slips, trips and

falls in the workplace.”

Swift Transportation’s partnership with Payless ShoeSource is one of

many the company plans to roll out in 2017. The company is actively

seeking strategic partners that provide better products, services and

events to its drivers, maintenance technicians and office personnel.

“Our partnership with safeTstep by Payless is another great way we can

maximize the size and strength of Swift to add value to our employees,”

adds CEO and President of Swift Transportation Richard Stocking. “We

hope this is one of many corporate partnerships we will introduce to

deliver a better life to all of our employees.”
