This is your ticket out of his truck and into another one - pronto. DOT and FMCSA will not be very happy to hear that Swift retaliated against you (should they do so) for reporting your mentor's orders to falsify your documentation that is required by Federal law. If you can, turn on your phone's video / audio recorder when you have that conversation about leaving the cracked windshield off of the DVIR at the end of the day so that you have proof if needed.
I can't believe that you guys are sitting - I hauled a load for Swift from MA to PA last week, so I thought they were too busy to get to it.
What will happen at a DOT inspection with a cracked windshield?

Ever think he does not have the money to pay for the repair? You may not know it but many O/O s are just one breakdown from being out of business...
A21CAV Thanks this. -
I know he has no money... he has borrowed $60 from me. His pay stub is negative $346... he showed me. Not sure how that works...any who-
we are sitting at his choice. We did a 34hr reset 3 days ago and he went home... he did not do his laundry, and is waiting for a load back to AZ so he can get his laundry. BTW-we are in UT. We have been sitting for over 24hrs! -

But i would not only call safety but also email it(with picture)

Hey Transam Pete! I sent you an email about a week ago... I don't get online much. I just keep telling myself it will alll be over soon! =)
Hope all is well with you! -
UPDATE: had a convo with my mentor about the windshield. I told him going forward I am listing it on my post trip inspection. His foot started shaking like crazy, I thought it was going to get ugly but it did not. He said he would call the glass co. today since we are sitting here for another 24hrs.
