Former Swift school trainees file suit over withdrawn CDLs

Dennis and Francis Wolf traveled to Tennessee from Illinois in June 2006 to begin their trucking lives working for the nations largest motor carrier.
The couple was willing to shell out nearly $4,000 and stay at a hotel in order to establish in-state residency at the one-stop trucking school and CDL licensing shop. The Wolfs spent 23 days in classes before moving back to Illinois, exchanging the Tennessee CDL for an Illinois one and working as commercial drivers.
Two-and-a-half years later, the Wolfs received a letter from their home state saying their CDLs were invalid due to improper testing in Tennessee.
Four former CDL holders who paid thousands of dollars to a Tennessee driving school for tuition and CDL testing are suing Swift Transportation Co. Inc., after their licenses were deemed invalid this past winter, and are planning on taking their suit to class action status.

I wondered how long it would be before someone took Swift to task on this. I hope they win big-time, although Swift has deep pockets.
