    okay currently work for swift as a company driver local home every night for little over a year everything been great till January had issues with dispatcher had to cancel due lack hours number one reason something was wrong example went through 5 trailers different locations that the federal inspection was out all were loaded I myself won't take them I know others will 3 months starting in January the volume of these has increased alot also been getting safety points some have been bogus Unsatisfactory Manual Log Audit2 DAILY VEHICLE INSPECTION I do two driver inspection a day and on the off chance I bobtail back and used same truck I do one another is
    Negative Road Report 3 Y ER OBSTRUCTION the drive camera was not mounted was all the way to side cab facing down I tell my DM this everytime I see this or its been unplugged, third was land departure I don't buy this reason is theres no drive camera video on this.

    Am I be paranoid or it seems like someone is trying get rid me and hurt my record any suggestions would help I live. I know all these are bogus reports how do I dispute this?

    Ive broken leases before, no apparent harm than what was already present in credit that year. Credit is less important now.

    Sounds like Swift Safety is still up to their old nonsense. My third year there I got suspended for a week for a log violation. I was so disgusted with them by that time that I didn't even ask what the violation was. My DM (not Safety) called to tell me about it and said she had gotten permission from the fleet manager to keep me active until I could be routed back to the home terminal. That way I could just take it as home time.

    I was going to leave at that point but I got offered a dedicated account that that looked good to me and I decided to give that a try. It was dispatched out of another terminal and the safety department there never bothered me once.

    So I don't know what to tell you. They aren't just unreasonable. They're also pretty random, which in a way is even more annoying.

    Is your MVR clean? PSP clean? Time to start looking around for another company. One that doesn't have cameras and beepity-beeps.
