Never claimed to be running 4,500 miles per week. 3,500-4,000 maybe, but not 4,500. Get your facts straight.

Last chance...........sure you wanna stick with the 3,500-4000 claim? Ok if you do. I just want you to reaffirm. Before we.............

A little off topic,I suppose,although it does involve Swift.....
I'm sitting at the Flying J,on I-20 in Tye Texas,30 miles east of Swee****er.....Roads are icy,no ones moving..... Swift truck pulls in,drops trailer,pulls out bobtail and parks 2 spots over from his trailer..... I've been scratching my head for a ½ hour,trying to figure out why a guy would do this.......

Waiting for another truck to show up to swap trailers/loads with.

Yeah,that's what happened.....Another Swifty came and took the drop trailer.......That didn't occur to me.....I guess because I keep the same trailer all the time..

I used to drop trailer if 2 empty slots were side by side on a back row ...I'd drop the empty so it was even with nose of the parked trucks leaving me a place to safely workout behind my trailer after I pulled my bobtail in nose first next to the trailer and pulled my weights out and set up my bench . This was not usually possible at night , But if it was I'd seize the opportunity ...keep in mind I only jacked 2 slots for about an hour and re-hooked after finishing my workout .

There has to be some kind of justice here
We need to ban together somehow to get some kind of justice and compensation for this. We paid almost $4,000 for......nothing.
I've spoken with the swift academy, attorneys and a few others to get the money back. The technical jargon and loophole is that the $4k was for "training for the cdl" and not an actual cdl so - no refund. Again, I believe all of us that have been effected by this need to get together and do something. A lawsuit doesn't seem like it will work but....maybe a tv station, maybe a newspaper, something. At the very least we should protest with signs at all Swift Terminals. I plan on doing this when all other options are futile. Will anyone want to get together on this? We have to do something for the financial compensation and to prevent people from going to any swift academy. I went because it was PTDI certified. It didn't help. |
