Swift milage lawsuit is allowed to go forward

I agree.
The lawsuit should be allowed to advance.
I hope Swift looses it's preverbial ###.
Any other job in America where you punch a time clock you are paid for every minute you are on the clock.
The trucking industry is the only one that found a way to consistently cheat the driver 3-8% of their work on every load.
They pay their road and fuel taxes based on actual miles in each state.
They pay their fees for the truck based on actual estimated miles.
They charge their customers based on actual miles traveled for the load.
Yet they make money by shorting the drivers.
You'll hear some on here say Oh! Don't worry about it, it's trucking.
You'll hear some say there's nothing you can do about it.
So let me give you a scenario to ponder.
Let's say you drive 10 years.
You average paid miles of 2500 a week.
That's 2500 x 52 x 10 = 1,300,000 paid miles.
Now let's say you're only getting $.40 a mile. That's 1,300,000 x .40 = $520,000 that you've grossed over 10 years.
Now let's say for the sake of this scenario that they shorted you 5% in miles every week for the same period.
Roughly 125 miles a week that you drove and didn't get paid for.
So that's 125 x 52 x 10 = 6500 unpaid miles.
Now 6500 x .40 = 2600.00 additional income.
Now that doesn't seem like a lot over the time period of this scenario, but irregardless, it's your money.
There are drivers out there that average better, there's a whole lot of drivers that average worse.
But you have to ask yourself, what would do if you had an extra $200 - $300 a month in your pocket instead of the companies.
