    So can you read it to me? Or perhaps you don't quite reach that threshold?
    OP asked for a meaningless letter Swift provided, because he wanted his current carrier to waste time and resources drafting an equally meaningless letter. The fact that this letter isn't worth the paper it is printed on was pointed out to the OP, and you got all butt hurt over the fact that the letter is completely unnecessary.

    NOBODY has made that allegation...only stated that the OP seems to have the desire that his new carrier act like Swift, and if he wants to work for a Swift-like carrier, he should just stay at Swift instead of trying to change his new carrier to be more like Swift.
    It was only ambiguous for mental midgets like you, who needed "clarification" from Swift.
    My career pre-dates that by quite a few years, and there was no confusion in the regs. If you weren't doing anything specified by the regs as "on duty", and you weren't driving, and you weren't in the sleeper, you're "off duty". Always have been, and there has never been any need for a letter from the carrier to "clarify" that fact.
    Apparently you fail to grasp the concept of using an example to make a point. You have ALWAYS been able to log off duty to do off duty things, even before it was mandated that you show yourself as being off duty. It was used to further illustrate the ridiculousness of the request being made by the OP, hopefully saving him the embarrassment of actually going into the safety office at his current employer and asking for such a letter.

    Again, learn to read. Nobody said it did.
    READ what the OP requested, and READ what was replied. Then read them again. And again. And again. Eventually you might just start to comprehend what this thread was about.

    The OP.....

    If someone could take a photo of their off-duty letter (the one Swift gives to every driver authorizing them to go off-duty instead of staying on-duty for short breaks) and email it to me I'd greatly appreciate it. Just PM me and I'll give you my email.

    Thanks,

    NOWHERE did the OP say WHY he wanted the letter.
    NOWHERE did the OP say his new carrier or if he had a new carrier or was even still a driver (not that it matters) WANTED that letter.
    NOWHERE was it stated that he WANTED them to act like Swift.
    There is NO reason for the request in the OP or any IMPLIED reason for the request.
    YOU and OTHERS read into it, made ASSUMPTIONS and acted like ########.
    A21 CAV gave the necessary info, and didn't give a #### why it was asked for. Thank you, F.
     
    A21CAV Thanks this.

    I didn't assume anything. Go back and re-read the thread from the beginning. In my first post in this thread, I quoted the OP in his follow-up post explaining why he wanted a copy of that letter.

    Thanks for playing. Learn to read.
