GOAL

I haven't sent in the GOAL. I had a situation where I was backed up to a loading dock for over 2 hours today, we shall see if they use that as an excuse not to pay detention. My contention is that as an independent contractor, they cannot require me to do certain things because I don't work for them? Things are still ironing out on that front-- got hit with log violations for driving around on line 1 when I was visiting the folks last month- personal conveyance....

 

Well I just found out about it all, woke up from a nap and had a voicemail from DM stating that I had violations and needed to respond macro 42. So I logged onto the portal with both my company and O/O code and saw no violations and no message for violations on the QC either, I think my DM is smoking crack lol. I did see a massive charge against my maintenance account (truck was recently in Swift shop and Kenworth shops for 8 days) so will have to iron that out with rapid response on Monday because these repairs still fall under the 'first 30 days Swift pays' warranty when you first lease a truck.

So while I believe my logs are clean for the month of February, I just got kicked out of a 'private' truck stop a little while ago. Had to roll up .2 miles to the next truck stop which I'm sure will be red flagged.

Come to think of it, maybe they popped me last month when in the middle of a 10 hour break, I hear this knock on my door, see what's up, and it's my neighbor asking for a jump. So I disconnect my trailer, pull around and jump start his truck for him then reconnect my trailer. Do you think that would red flag my logs in a hand audit?
