swift "driver support"

How do you know its inaccurate?
From working in the office?
Lol....

 

Why is Swifts CSA score so bad???
Last year I got a green prepass about 75% of the time. This year I almost never get past an open scale.
The other day I was in the office for a random drug screen and was listening to the staff talking about how they had 11 people in for Orientation that morning. Now there was only one left.
Unbelievably, then they started discussing how can they get one other guy in.
I was there when the road tester came in and said " I can't pass him he cannot SHIFT GEARS,
And he was looking at the gearshift and RAN A STOP SIGN!"
What was their solution?
MAYBE WE CAN GET HIM IN AN AUTOMATIC
I am not kidding you. My first thought was how did he get the license?
(This was road test before going with a mentor)
I only work for swift because I I can join and quit easy when I feel like it ( 3 times now) and their terminal is close to where I live, also I used to make decent money with little hassle.
That said I'm about done with them for these reasons,
Equipment quality way down, after being thrashed by rookies.
They don't check it before trying to give you a truck, I was actually assigned a truck with three flat tires and no working air con once. Another one you had to hold the steering wheel
Fifteen degrees left to keep it on the road. One with air leaks and broken Qualcomm.
All this wasted my time to get fixed.
Also, no one answers the phone. I waited three hours the other day just trying to get through for a flat. This is typical now . Like Central used to be.
Impossible preplans. Don't they have a computer to tell them I can't live unload and pick up 100 miles away in one hour?
Yesterday I arrived at a shipper on time for my appointment and was told.
" your company rescheduled, you have to come back tonight???? Wtf
Last month I sat in a hot truck four days (times) because of " reschedule "
Anyway that's my rant I'm about sick of it if I'm not making money why am I in this truck anyway. Last straw is driver facing cameras, dash cam GREAT! Driver facing is just to harass you. If you can't trust your drivers get new ones, put them in automatics haha
Lastly, the people, office, shop, breakdown etc are all Very nice, when you can get them on the phone.

 

Swift is good company. The only problems I had with them were the night dispatchers. But a veteran told me just call to Phoenix and that solved that lol. They had me running all the time , if your a hard worker and like to run you'll be ok but if your a lazy type turn down loads be ready to be stuck at the loves for a couple days.

 

I always appreciate it when 'office staff' can break from their busy schedule of Facebooking and Amazon to post here and confirm what everybody has been saying. Apparently I hit a nerve. The truth tends to do that.

I hope after you cooled off with a smoke break and lunch you got back to you usual holiday tasks on Swift's dime; social networking, e-shopping, and google. Don't worry about all the drivers working on the holidays to make your pay. Their problems will be there for the next shift.

 

Any one interest taking over my lease. I recent got into swift owner op leasing truck on October 2014. I have a red 2015 freightliner cascade evo 13 speed. About 15**** miles. Maintenence up to day. Everything is still new. Willing to put some cash in if some one is willing to take over. The reason I posting this because I found a local job. Need to find some one soon.

 

Are you currently working for Swift?

 

No, I'm with JB Hunt Dedicated. Needed more hometime.
