This is so common to try and single out Swift is ludicrous. The "trainers" are not using the students and an extra log book.

I agree, BUT that is not reality..

it has nothing to do with singling out swift.. it has to do with a trainer not doing his job!!

According to the MAJORITY of the training fleets this how the trainers are supposed to be doing their job. There are VERY few training companies that will even ALLOW their trainers to train properly.. let alone train the trainers properly.

trainee should be driving or sitting in passenger seat, driver and trainer are supposed to sleep at the same time.. while the truck is stopped..

AND drivers are supposed to get proper rest, AND drivers are supposed to obey the speed limits AND....... ? You are living in a fantasy world if you think that the majority of people are trained like you want them to be.

and how do you know what the trainers are doing? have you ridden with them? or do you just know everything?

Ive been an instructor and trainer for most of my career.. and I was actually relieved from training for refusing to team with students.. and this was not for Swift. This story is yet another hit piece on Swift. The things that you complain about should be the law, they are not, they are commonplace. I would go one step further and make the training of students by lease operators illegal.
