Complaint Review: SWIFT

i was recently terminated from swift out of newboston mi. the grounds..i wasnt driving enough.i spent 14 wks solo and only had 5 days home time.i lived the lifestyle to the fullest.the problem wasnt me,infact it was them.every weekend after making my drop on friday or saturday morning i would be stuck sitting till monday or tuesday waiting for a new trip.my idle time went up due to lack of work.this is against swift policies.spent most time driving in midwest and eastern seaboard areas,very cold .i kept my icu unit set to 50-55deg.hardly comfortable,but doable.the days i drove on trips i worked my 11/14 or till i had to stop to make a legal 10hr reset to start again and make drop next morning.i pleaded for trips a solo driver could make on time but they were rare...so i learned what to log and what not to log.i never planned on fudge'n logs..but what can u do when they say trips miles are 450 and u drive 550 or more.impossible to plan trip when u cant plan drive time.the free miles they stroke you for are disgusting,avg is 75 per load.(keep in mind i have over 50k driven in 6mths,i can drive with the best of em)but in the end my miles got less and less to the point that i was held responsible.so they terminated me...sigh.im only posting this in the hopes of warning new drivers who consider swift to plz reconsider your options.they lie and steal like crackheads.there are much better starter companies to choose from.theres much more horror behind my employment there,but this was ice'n on the cake.BEWARE OF SWIFT...THEY DONT CARE ABOUT SOLO DRIVERS !!!
