Risk Analysis points after brake check

You're right. Brake checking a big rig is pretty stupid.

 

Never hard brake. Always strive to kill everyone in the car. Bonus points are awarded if you can smash it into the back of another trailer.

 

The bonus video warmed my heart to a degree I did not think was possible. Thank you

 

Ex Swift driver here. The short answer is no. Swift does have (did have) an appeals process but it's a ridiculous little star chamber. You don't get to be present or know what evidence they have against you or anything. It's just some safety department functionaries having a meeting and decide if the first "safety officer" screwed up. I've never heard of anyone appealing anything successfully.

The good news is that Swift's risk analysis points mean absolutely nothing when you look for another job. As of three years ago when I left the only report Swift normally made on former drivers was the standard DriverFacts report, which consisted of employment begin and end dates, drug tests and results, a list of accidents with dates and whether they were preventable and/or DOT reportable, and eligibility to rehire. Unless you got fired eligibility to rehire usually said "upon review". That's it.
