Hey all been awhile, so from what im reading there will be no money reimbursed with the class action settlement. Just the state extending deadlines. I live in ohio, and have not heard anything about anything lol. O well I figured that Swift would come out on top...

Well Spiegel this whole thread is old news. They did things bad and got caught. They provide better training now over some of the other 3 week schools. I didn't go to school there.
I work there. Memphis is my home terminal. -
TruckrsWife and Buckeye 'bedder Thank this.

Nope not an instructor. AFAIK they weren't doing the proper road tests. Several schools in TN lost their 3rd party testing privileges. The state now might shadow you as you take your test. The tester better do it right, and to the letter. Some times a state tester will show up and take over the testing.
I don't believe the state did anything wrong. Former Swift trainees weren't the only ones who got nailed.
I'm just a stupid truck driver. -
Swift even had the gall to demand immediate payment from some students after they lost their licenses and could no longer drive. When they could not pay because they were no longer working due to Swift's own culpability in the matter, they went after their credit. How's that for being low and shady? Swift now has the mentors take the students to their home states to test from what I understand. That way there is no third party tester. -
my question would be, I know a law suit has been filed, but anyone know the name of the Law Firm that is handling this situation? I would like to know, because I wasn;t even notified my CDL had been re-called. and I agree, Tennessee D.O.T. is guilty of negligence in this case. However, Swift, also violated federal law, by signing the name of a third party tester to every driving test to issue CDL's and paid off the DOT officers to receive the CDL's.

HI guys . . .
There is a class action lawsuit regarding this matter. Law firm is Philip J Fuoco. I'll follow up with more details soon. It's late and I gotta catch some zzz's.
