    Swift Terminal
    11380 Courthouse Blvd
    Inver Grove Heights,MN 55077

    My dad called and said you have to go to your grandfathers funeral and SWIFT didn't ####### care like they say they care about there drivers, An now there trying to claim on my work record that i abandoned a truck and trailer which i didn't and it's not on my DAC report but yet they claim it's on there work record for me.

    How would i go about this if i wanted to get employment with them again? I know some people might think I'm nuts but oh well i'm asking this question for HELP, ADVICE, COMMENTS

    Too much information missing. Why not just go somewhere else? You could do a lot better than Swift.

    Usually that's a "bereavement leave;" but you did it right up front.
    Before you even pulled for them.
    Which might look strange to them.
    Did you give them notice;
    like say "I have an unforeseen family emergency,
    a Funeral, Death in the Family,
    and have to postpone my start date for a day?"

    You can't schedule gram'pa dying.
    (My sincerest condolences on your loss.)

    Did they send you a preplan? Hit the appropriate macro saying NO and list reason as personal. They cannot hit you for abandonment if you didn't accept the load. Now if you accepted the load and did not finish it-- well did you talk to your driver manager about the problem?
     
    jammer910Z Thanks this.

    Ok, so it’s not on your DAC report but it’s just noted at Swift? I’m guessing there’s lots of people who go through training and the have a “sick relative” and bail. No offense but it probably sent some type of red flag.

    Call a recruiter and explain the situation and see what they say.

    If this was in 2015 why are you dealing with this now?

    Did you give them notice - phrased as I stated above, or did you not?
    Time gap is a long time, your reason is your own - post it or not.
    But you need to give details on exactly how you phrased the statement that you needed "time off."
