    Trainee says the company called trainer and told trainer to drop him off the side of the road because the trainees medical card expired,how many actually believe Swift would do that.Sure they're not the best company but instructing trainer to do such an act I don't believe.I think there may have been a conflick between the two and trainer took it upon himself to throw him out.Back in the day I had a trainer and he was going to dump me in Utah in a chain up area but the company talked him out of it and took me to a hotel.We fought over the stupidest thing,politics.He was the type you better agree with whatever he says.

    I don't believe it either, but I do believe the trainee drove the trainer crazy and the trainer handled the situation the only way he knew how (not right but, whatever) If this turns out to be "factual" the dude will have a good case against Swift, but I suspect this will be the last we hear of the incident and the trainee can think about what he did to cause this sequence of events.

    His first mistake was living in Chicago. His second is wanting to drive local in Chicago. I would have dumped him too.
