    I don't think any other company would look badly upon you for leaving Swift...

    Thanks for the replies.

    The pay to start out is almost as much as a person could make by picking up cans on the roadside. It was a tough decision to make..... quit and hope to find a job in these bad times or stick it out and not make enough for bills, let alone food.

    I can live with that on my DAC.

    When did you find out about the 9th? Is it for certain?

    The reason I ask is because I'm eligible for Feb 2nd and still don't have a solid answer yet. Just wondering how it went for you.

    From a lot of drivers I have talked to swift is or used to be one of them that would put bogus info on your DAC. Like wrecks that you were never in.:biggrin_2554:

    I can only go by what others say. It could say nothing or it could say quit during probation and satisfactory. If it was more serious like failing a drug test then they would note a negative. I don't think they would place a negative on your DAC if they just dismissed you for thier own internal reasons.

    For McElroy I'm working with Wendy too. Phone interview seemed to go well but she still had to do verification stuff and I haven't heard back either. Said it all depended on whether she was able to get the app completed in time. Fingers are crossed.

    It's possible they put something on it.

    But the reality of it is, you've accepted another orientation date at another company. Quickly. So the odds of that showing when the other had your DAC pulled, is very slim.

    It takes time for that information to be entered into your file. You could have beaten it, or it may not have been placed there at all.

    Not all companies try to screw you. Just the bottom feeders, pretty much.
