    Judge: Swift Transportation Misclassified Drivers As Independent Contractors

    A federal judge ended a seven year legal battle between Swift Transportation and a group of drivers, finding that those drivers were misclassified as independent contractors rather than employees.

    Arizona judge John Sedwick found that Swift owner-operators who leased their trucks “as a practical matter, had to drive for Swift.” Because Swift was essentially in charge in terms of the relationship it had with its owner-operator drivers, Sedwick found that the drivers should be classified as employees.

    This could get interesting

    The new 2017 independant contractor contract does allow us to use the truck for hauling freight other than Swift's however the procedure is so convoluted its not remotely practical. The lease or purchase contract with IEL does not allow us to haul other than Swift freight.

    Or 4 bottles of Dekrupters Spearment. Maybe three if I have to drive out of our dry state to get it.

    Sure a raise. But expect your miles to be cut. You will have many hours in a day every day to sit in the truckstop and tell people how you are never tired or out of hours anymore.
