Hey You! Swifty! Clean your #$%#$ trailer out!

Well, worst thing is you cut yourself. That there just makes it 100xtimes worse. Because now your cleaning some one else mess and cut yourself doing it ruining your gloves.

 

Seriously? We have way too many drivers who forget about customer service. Without shippers and receivers, we don't have jobs. Now, I'm not saying I'm perfect by any stretch of the imagination. But! I do everything I can to leave a trailer that is passably clean. We haul food in these trailers, too.

If a trailer is in such bad shape as described, take out the big stuff, run a broom over it enough to get the worst of it out and then get a PO number for a washout at the Beacon. I have done this before with Swift, I will do it again. There is absolutely no reason for you to damage your property and place your health at risk by cleaning out sharp objects.

Security in Houston does not care about dirty Swift trailers. It's not their job to care. But, you have a camera in that phone. Shoot some pictures of the mess, take it to your DM and request payment for your property and time. If your DM doesn't want to help, move on up the food chain.

 

*whispers to bluebonn* it wasn't me. *quietly slips away before he blows up again*

 

Another reason I'm liking Flatbeds more and more.

 

Yeah seems like a lot of drivers are afraid to take the next step in the chain of command. The attitude seems to be "my DM doesnt care, so why will the FM, or the TM?". Thing is, Swift doesnt hire DM's from the Acme DM Robot Factory. They are people, just like the drivers, and just like the drivers, there's good ones, and bad ones. Or they have a bad day, or just feel sick, or whatever.

If you feel like you have a reasonable request, or there is something that you have an issue with and your DM is not listening, go to the next person. Thats what they are there for. They arent there just to draw a check.

 

hes a older guy bald on top with a gray gold tee. ive dealt with him a few times. you can tell he hates swift, always rude to me. and this is what he looks like

 

I say just open the doors and go down the street.
