    That link points to a wsj article about stock issues. Nothing about the zip payments suit.

    I’m not surprised. There’s at least 1 video everyday getting uploaded to YouTube about swift drivers doing stupid stuff, and these videos are automatically red flagged. My Theory is swift is paying google under the table to hide their history on the search engine.

    What does that have to do with providing a link to an article about the zip to zip suit?

    It’s called under the table censorship. Many companies will usually have agreements for settlements. And one of those agreements can be to shut your mouth or they can ask the court to not let the news spread to the public.

    Again, where is the article? Or are you saying Swift pays off every news source in the planet? If you think they are paying google (laughable on it's face btw) use another search engine.

    No, you are simply repeating truck stop counter rumor without any facts to back it up.

    P.S. Even the likes of RIAA cannot keep Google from posting search links. They flaunt the intent of the law RIAA paid for by posting the take down notices with the removed URL's in the notice.

    Good lord another one wanting truth to be served in a silver platter of disability. Am I selling you the idea? Am I forcing it down your throat? I remember that thread and I remember reading news about swift. This is why I commented “my opinion” on this thread. If you want to go find the article, here’s a shovel. Unbelievable
     
    fargonaz Thanks this.

    The company I work for uses PC Miler. It closely matches Google maps miles, city to city. A couple of times, I felt it was short by a substantial amount. Called dispatch and asked about it, they corrected my miles to my satisfaction in one instance. In another, it was explained to me the route the program was using. I used the interstate and went the long way.

    It doesn't hurt to ask, the company may agree with you.
