Complaint Review: Swift Trans - Phoenix Arizona

i am 40 years old,a college grad,a vet and have been driving since 16 years of age.not a big deal however i have been driving tow trucks since 19years of age.thats for you talkers that say i have drove whatever for however long.maybe since the wheel was stone for all i know?that is how ome truckers talk.small mindedness.

so i drove for just shy of 2 years for swift.i have never been disrespected or treated so much like a number or not a human being.

for all the people that have tryed to defend this company i dont understand you?is this company that good to you yet not to these other people?do you drive or work in the office?there is a difference.

this company is designed to weed out the solo company drivers after 1 year of experience.1 of the ways they do this is by a point system.not all the drivers have heard about this yet but this is just another crooked scheme that they will run into.

the point system goes like this:for everything you do wrong you get a point.for example:an overwieght ticket,seatbelt ticket,no trailer registration ticket,overspeed,a critical event,and log violations.thats not all someone can call the 1-800 number on a trailer and report that you swerved and look tired or have parked someplace you should not have.these were all things that happened to me and resulted in a point.i was not tired nor swerving.the person that allows me to park at this place wasnt there when i parked and called the company.even though i imediatly moved the truck it was another point.the point from the accident was a small ding in a tractor from a trailer that happened while parking.i was in training for 2 weeks when the accident happened.still almost 2 years later still a point.this whole point system just started 2-3 months ago so swift desperatly needs to unload experienced drivers.

on top of the whole point thing swift does not give you time or an opportunity to lose points and do good.thats not entirely accurate i lost points somehow, i was not told how?however i still had more then allowed and was let go.

if you swift defenders are still reading let me inform you that this isnt a complaint this is the facts.really i call it a relief.i am so happy away from the lies.yes manipulation.

ill tell you how here is an example:a load that on paper added up by distance and mph eqaul 26 hours.i was given 24 hours to do this load.the time for two ten hour breaks and fuel were not added in and this load took me thru washington,dc and new york.how is this supposed to deliver on time please tell me defenders?

then i see one person telling us drivers will not get the amount in the adds that swift portrays.that is false advertisement.2 years, you gotta wait 2 years ,you dont know what your talking about.i was 2 months shy of 2 years and had back to back loads.i never had a problem getting loads yet never made that money.

the amount of money most drivers make doing this over the road driving is a joke.maybe in some areas where there is not an economy but for others this is a joke.you couldnt sell this job if you told the truth=never home,always broke and forever tired.

and now that im lookin at cdl-a employment i find this over the road a joke.you get paid the least but should be the most.this was allowed by the small minded truckers.no its not like smokey and the banded, or convoy.the average trucker is unintelligent, full mof my dog is bigger stories and cant back up the trash they talk.on the average, not saying all just the majority.and the experiences i have had with some of the people in the terminals are the same just employees in an office.i could go on longer but im too relieved haha.i am so relieved haha!
