Driver leader angry with me because I declined running reefer

I despise Knight , my dad passed away and they offered no help to get me home, my mom drove to pick me up.

 

DSW only pulls swift and they will pay you less than swift will. Might as well lease on yourself to swift

 

How is it your employers responsibility to get you home? Rent a car and drove home.

 

DSW is Swift. They really don't even run it like a separate company, like Jerry did Central Refrigerated for a while. Swift owns the property, owns the shop, all the personal are Swift, all the trailers are Swift, all the freight is Swift.

DSW started out as Digby SouthWest. That is Digby of Navajo Digby; A son, nephew, or something of Don Digby of Navajo. Anyway this Digby couldn't get enough freight on his trucks so he leased to some of Swift's freight. But even that wasn't enough so to keep Digby afloat, Digby had to have Jerry invested some money in his company. Anyway as things always go with Jerry, Jerry's interest in your company always leads to Jerry owning your company. So thats the deal. Jerry owns the whole DSW trucking outright and is run under Swift. It referred to as Swift Tuscon terminal. Jerry keeps the DSW name but it is his.

I think the HDS school next to the DSW terminal is run by someone else, but Jerry has a hand in that too.

 

Any DECENT company would. Just proof that this company doesn't care about you.

 

Sorry to hear about your dad, but there's little love in the trucking biz.

 

Do you check in with your name, or a number?




Theres your answer.

Because I was on a load and it was a family emergency when I was away from home and a good company would . They could have let me deadhead back after bringing load to Terminal do you know nothing about trucking to say a brain dead comment like that?

 

I know but there are ones who will help you get back and even if you deadhead back ,so to go thru that, never will I kiss ### for a company like that. Thank you for the response , my dad was in the oilfield driving a Kill Truck, he didn't show up for work so the mechanic went to check on him because that wasn't like him and they found him in the hallway. He had his breathing treatment machine on so it makes me think he was having a hard time breathing but it really was hI'm having a heart attack .

 

Didn't you work for Schneider as well? I could have you mixed up, I just thought I remember you at Schneider not Knight. I get confused, so I prolly screwed that up. Lol

PS. Sorry about your dad
