Judge certifies class in short mile case against Swift Transportation

I would tend to agree with abuse but I was merely pointing out that those were the two most accurate methods of actual mileage as long as the truth were not stretched and we know no trucker would stretch the truth....

 

Class action,

that means what,

$25-$100 to each driver ....?

 

Now times that by how many drivers? That is alot of money to be pocketing for themselves...

 

Interesting figure,

doubt it, but ya never know.

 

FMCSA does not regulate pay.

The sad part is that the Department of Labor has no interest.

 

Also consider many companies simply pay miles "as-the-crow-flies" like from zip code to zip code.

 

Yea, and the DOL still considers and classifies the job as "non-skilled" labor.

 

When I used to drive the 48 for May Trucking I was consistently shorted 3% to 5%. Average that to 4% of 3k miles a week and that's 120 miles a week x 50 weeks, and that's some serious cash shortage at the end of that stick.

I don't know about you, but I can think of a lot places I could of used that extra 2k dollars a year I was shafted out.
