How can I earn more Pro-Points?

Did you know that there are numerous ways you can earn Pro-Points? We want to make sure you’re aware of how to earn more points so you can be recognized for your outstanding performance, strive for the most points, and in the end be successful!

Below are some of the different ways you can earn Pro-Points:

Interacting within the app: Simply use and engage within the app. For instance, drivers are awarded 50 Pro-Points for sharing their knowledge by adding a note to a Shipper or Receiver.
Earning badges: Within the Drive MK App, there are many badges that we award Pro-Points for. The highest earning badge is the Work Streak Badge; keep a work streak and you can earn up to 5,000 Pro-Points!
BlueTree Scorecard: You can earn 1,000 Pro-Points for each green score in Safety, Compliance, Performance, and MK Elite (green in all three categories). Meaning you can get up to 4,000 Pro-Points!
Outstanding Performance: DMs award Pro-Points to recognize their driver’s extraordinary performance.

Where can I find my Pro-Point Balance?

Open the Drive MK App and follow the steps below:

Click the ^ icon at the bottom right
Click on “profile”
You should be able to see your Pro-Point balance under your name
If you click on your balance, you will be able to see your lifetime balance, how many points you’ve spent, and how many are available.

What can I spend my Pro-Points on?

Did you know you’re able to spend your points on any item at any time? You can exchange your Pro-Points for a variety of things, such as gift cards, tools, TVs, or even cash in your points on your weekly settlement! In addition, you can send us a link from Amazon with a specific item and we will get it ordered as soon as we can. Check out the drivers below on how they spent their Pro-Points!

If you have any questions, ask your DM for more information on our Pro-Point System. You can find all this information in the Resource Library when you need it!

New Business – Royal Canin Edwardsville

Now that we are back as a primary carrier for Mars Petcare, we have the opportunity to start hauling freight from their Royal Canin division. We pick up preloaded shipments from the Edwardsville site and deliver to PetSmart in Ottawa, IL & to Animal Supply Company in Bartlett, IL.

Royal Canin was started in 1968 in France when a veterinarian named Jean Cathary came to believe that food could impact the health of animals. They strive to make nutrition a cat or dog’s first medicine and their philosophy is to make a better world for pets. By 1974 Royal Canin had expanded internationally and their products were being sold in eight countries across Europe.

By the mid-1980s the brand was launched in the United States. In 1997 Royal Canin was the first pet food company that offered a nutritional program based on the size and age of dogs. Mars acquired them in 2001 and they continue to grow with new offerings such as breed-specific food, a wet range of cat food, food for pets with allergies, and even liquid designed for tube feeding so vets can help pets in critical condition.

The Marvin Keller Account Reps work hard to grow and increase volume with our current Customers. We are always looking for more drop and hook lanes to keep our Drivers moving!
