This is the worst company that I have ever worked for, from the trucks to management, to mentor and training program. I should have seen the signs about this company from the start. They do not want to pay you for anything but driving.

I was not paid to come out there for a 4 day manditory orientation, I was then sent home to get glasses for dot inspection, which was fine. I got my glasses then was told to come back out to Columbus term to take eye exam with glasses. again not paid anything for coming back out. Then was told I had to go back home to wait for a trainer. I then went out and started guys with trainer shirts on if they needed students and found 1 trainer to take me. this was another mistake. I had to go out with this ### for 2 weeks because I drove for USA trucks for 5 months. I didnt last 2 days because mister Marine Corp was a lunatics wanted me to do somethings I was not comfortable with like tale gate other trucks then switch lanes while still keeping my speed in the rain with out missing a beat, when I tryied to take the time to look to see if the lane was clear he got mad and said you R loosing time just switch lanes. Then he gave me directions to and address to business in NY city only to find out he read the qual comm wrong and we had to go 5 hours south to NJ. I would not drive anymore went in the back to sleep, he made the mistake why should I be punished. well he droped me of that next day and hade me test out. He talked with a buddy of his who tested me and failed me. they where going to send me home, I protested the test tested with another guy that worked for them and he passed me saying he had no problems with my driving.

Know I got my own truck and all was good from there right, wrong the problems kept coming. the truck I got drove great for about 2 months then all hell broke loose. the truck broke down every week with a diff problem. When I demanded another truck that is when the problems started with my dispatch and fleet manager. I guess I was a complainer because I wanted a truck that actually drove. The pig tail would allways fall out of the trailer, and I got pulled over by DOT because the trailor lights where not working. He did a full inspection and found nothing wrong but the pig tail was not long enough. He had me plugg the pigtail back in and gave me a citation to have it fixed, and not fine was givin. I then got another truck after I broke down in Oklahoma. Know I did have a backing accident in texas, not a major one in Dec in Louisiana. I was then let go this month in Mar because of the backing accident, and the DOT inspection where I was not even fined. All was fine until I started complaining about my truck and the miles that I was getting, or not getting.

Know they will not give me back my cooler filled with DVD's and tool box that was left on the truck, because I could not take them with me on the Greyhound bus. I had to leave them at the term.

my2girls...bigger companies will tend to fire people for little crap like that. I have no idea what your situation was, but maybe they thought you were a problem child. Not trying to offend, just making a general observation. Just be glad you didn't work for Werner. They make Swift seem civilized by comparison. Ask any Werner driver about going to a terminal to grab fuel. They'll tell you.
