    While recordkeeping is a good thing for anyone, that isn't a positive report on the company. They're obviously trying to scroo drivers out of their wages and a driver just shouldn't have to put up with that. They tried to take half of his paycheck; and some guys would go postal over that, especially in these hard times.

    If I am accepted to go to the Memphis swift school what kind of contracts do you sign? Is it a commitment to work for them for a certain length of time?:biggrin_25511: What if you do not like how's things are going and quit? From what I have read sounds like swift is a fine school. And I would like to thank you mentors (trainers) out there for helping us new guys learn the trade.:biggrin_25514:

    So if the driver from Bosnia was running 2200 to 2600 miles a week, he's only making 8.8 :biggrin_25521: 10.4 cpm? Man, I wouldn't hence that problem when it came to being payed for what I was supposed to be paid for... Even if he started at the beginner pay of .27cpm he would be making $594 to $702 weekly. He must of thought if he complained about his pay, he would get fired... :biggrin_25513:
