    Yes, that's a common mistake, and rookies often make it. If I were the plaintiff, I might argue that during training, I was encouraged to do this, on the premise that I was told that I would not be paid for on-duty time not driving, or I might claim that I was told that it doesn't count as on-duty unless I was being paid for it. Of course, we know better, but a rookie could probably make the argument that they didn’t - they were still learning these things, at the time, after all.

    Let's remember that the plaintiff is not the defendant, and that they are essentially claiming that the problem is systemic within Swift - so the individual circumstances of each driver are less relevant than the compensation policies of the carrier. The plaintiff's specific circumstances are only relevant in that they illustrate the policy problem at Swift. DoT may later try to enforce a citation against the plaintiff (probably not, given whistle-blower protection rules), but that would not carry over to the entire class, in any event.

    When I started out with them my trainer would still get me up to help with back ups and what not... So if I went through it I'm sure others have too.. Nowadays I can drive circles around any of those fruits.... You have noobs who can't shift gears training other noobs... Best way to cause bad habits and accidents smh

    Go back and read through the initial posts in this thread and you'll find the information to update your current address. BTW, your first post included your name and address and I reported it to the moderators so they could edit it out for your protection. Don't ever do that on any public forum.

    Also this forum is not in any way affiliated with Swift or any other company. Any information you find here in the comments by others are opinions and should be taken with a large grain of salt as it may be factually inaccurate. That said, The Truckers Report is an outstanding source of information if you approach it with a large amount of critical thinking.

    Emeryville Lawyer contacted me about the litigation of trucking companies. The sitting of trucks is being compiled for compensation and wages of extended hours (sleeper berth/off duty awaiting dispatch). Settlement from Julian vs Swift Julian v. Swift Transp. Co., No. CV-16-00576-PHX-ROS | Casetext Search + Citator
    Avatar is from JB Hunt Corporate Safety Case# I was in the sleeper when the truck driver side caught fire from a dead short. It was arson. The picture shows a welded (hot plate). Keys was in my pocket. Happened at Dallas Texas JB Hunt Keist Drive. Only the bunk heater was on. Occured January 2022.
    Julian vs Swift - I was awarded $1064 in Check.

    You cannot opt out of the minimum wage law if your job is covered by it.
