I was in a minor accident while driving for swift. At first, they called it a preventable. I appealed and to my surprise, I won. Don't give up with that.
I know what you mean about all the stupid rules. The one that I hated the most, was the no off duty driving, even if legal.mje Thanks this. -
YOU use common sense. Most trucking company desk jockeys? Not so much.
mje Thanks this. -
Is Swift referring to other other trucks, your personal car, or what?? Please specify.
God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!MsThumpr Thanks this. -
They say if I would have been in my mirrors every 3 seconds like I was supposed to then I would have been able to avoid the impact. But I seem the truck and stopped immediately. He kept coming and hit me. It's been a few days now and I am still sitting in North Carolina. I'm not sure when they will let me get another load and go again but I'm going stir crazy sitting here. I was told by my last mentor I need to appeal this. And I intend too as soon as I can get back to the terminal.

Oh yeah the no off duty driving is referring to your truck or any other commercial vehicle. And that is one thing that irritates me. If you are stuck with a 34 hour restart and there's no walking distance food or restrooms your screwed. I even went as far as calling dispatch one day to clarify this. I asked if there was any way possible or me to move the truck without starting my time and she said no. The truck has to be parked for full 34 hours or if you are on a 10 hr break it has to remain parked the full 10 hrs.
