    Let's not forget avoiding workers compensation and payroll taxes...

    If the case comes out in the plaintiffs' favor, I think it could bankrupt Swift.

    Unless a lot has changed in the last year, there are many things that could bankrupt Swift.

    Actually all this new information does is allow the plaintiffs to appeal the Judge's decision to arbitrate the case. Nothing is set in stone. The Plaintiffs appeal can still be denied.

    Those who are filing the complaint could care less if Swift goes bankrupt.

    Thank you, Mrs. Truckrswife, for keeping this thread updated. I will be looking forward to future updates.

    Of course, this case will not apply to me since Swift's contract agreement is not with Injun, but rather, with Taiowa.

    They could probably avoid the problem if they forced anyone who wants to do a lease to incorporte and then lease the truck to their corporation.

    Yeh....if Injun has labor complaints, she'll have to take them up with Taiowa Transportation, LLC. That company is headed up by a hardarse. Thinkin Injun's SOL.
