while most of what i have read here on this site by other people is crap...you i believe....gary isnt the greatest period neither is the swift term there! but all of swift isnt like that... yes you were violated...you can sue or whatever you feel should be done! ( i worked in health care prior tot trucking) i do want you to understand that at terminals besides phoenix they have 1 person doing several jobs...so ex...1 person can be your Dm, your orientation teacher, safety coordinator, and a "NURSE PRACTIONER." they cannot deem from that urine test what you have or dont have...other than drugs in systems(that is definite) but as far as diabetic...NO!!! our sugar was elevated due to the muffin and juice! they dont supply the best nutritious food! but then again its the hotel serving the food. you having to wait was most likely the hotel if the had a shuttle or swift not telling you to get a cab...swifts fault! i wish you best of luck!

with personal knowledge of how swift operates and of the majestic this can happen, of what this man has said but I doubt all the facts are in. We cannot control what is said about other's although as a person of integrity we try our best we, all do as people . this man I'm sure can neither boast he is a man of integrity or a saint, though he may try OOPPSSS he called the nurse a what..... I know swift is not for everyone the rules for swift are meticulous and sometimes not easy and sometimes very frustrating. but, it a company and i repeat a company that is not for everyone but, the majestic does it's best to take care of swift drivers and still make a profit for itself. it's not a bad place for being in the middle of nowhere if your life is about what tomorrow brings you and what is on tap for you and swift. I enjoyed working for the company for almost 2 years as a driver and trainer. but for I moving to an area that is difficult for Swift to allow me to come home I had to leave. although a solution was tried we just couldn't make it work. Darryl is one of the finest terminal managers i have ever had the pleasure to work for and the fleet manager Don is a tremendous asset and also a pleasure to work with I wish nothing but the best for those that work for the company. If anyone has a problem touch base with Mrs jerry Ballard at the terminal in gary she will do her best to help as well as anyone of the afore mentioned people but always remember to avoid this person at all cost Tonya Smith driver manager at the gary terminal she will destroy i always recommended that she be avoided like the plague. your career with Swift and your aspirations of what you want to gain with the company. as a whole to work with swift and all the rules and everything about swift if your a fast learner give yourself about 6 month's if you cannot invest that much time in your career with swift then don't go because it takes that long just to understand the player's, the mover's and the shaker's. Swift is a career choice they invest alot of time and money in you so give that to yourself. give yourself the time to learn about swift and all that it has to offer. If you want to make money after your 6 month's with swift and if you have at least 2 years of driving experience and want to share your knowledge with other's then swift is a great way to invest your time and skill you'll have the opportunity to share with other's as well as increase your income. this is for everyone stay away from a lease purchase truck run,hide, duck... hide again wives, girlfriend's and significant other's help those that you love and care about. the offer is tempting and the dream is tantalizing. but in the end you too will suffer.. you are only paying for the companies bills, and you get a tax right-off and maybe you might make a few extra dollar's at first but in the end you will lose and maybe break even but to come out ahead look at it this way nationwide only 7 percent of all lease purchase truck owner's are successful that means 93 percent fail or go broke trying to succeed at it best of luck to you if you try trucking this way. but remember this one: if a company were successful with paying all the bill's of the truck why would they want you to pay all the bills of the truck and in the end sell you another one. this way the company keeps inventory changed and you still keep paying the bill's but always remember this one the contract alway's has this clause in it no matter what and how big or little the contract. your employment is subject to change at anytime with or without notice and. remember the truck stays but you don't no matter how much you have invested or how much fuel you just purchased it's a tax right-off and not a reimbursable expense by the company. consider yourselves forewarned best of luck to all of you and and may success follow you all. sincerely,

What kind of morons would give you a blood sugar test first thing in the morning. Everytime I have ever had blood tested they suggest fasting for at least 8 hours. Cranberry juice (what 45 percent sugar) and blue berry muffin (95 percent sugar). That would have caused high blood sugar. You should apply somewhere else and see if you can have your doctor provide physical info.

When I was due for a physical, although I didnt need to take one for my position, my manager disclosed my diabetes to non essential people. He even went as far as telling a clerk at the DMV, whom I dealt with weekly, that I got a vasectomy. I told HR about this but they did nothing. Again this shows Swifts sub standard management. I have other rebuttals on the many Swift posts here giving examples of how piss-poor this company and its management is. Of course people will defend this company, hell I did at one point, but the monster bit me in the a*s too. I thought they were half way decent. I thought maybe the lack of decent management was localized but found it goes all the way to the top. When Jerry bought his company back, the brass had their golden parachutes lined wonderfully. That is all they care about. They know their is an endless supply of warm bodies out there to make their lives comfortable.
