Swift doesn't care

can't give you much advice about the accident. But about the miles, get a new DM .

 

Welcome to swift the mess gets worse been there tell him to go to schneider better pay and dbl always helps

 

Oh Swift is real good at sending you to pick up a ld 100 miles from where your at only to find out theres no load there at all...real nice dispatching there...You put in for time off a month in advance only to get the "can you take this real hot load and we'll get you home right away afterwards" crap....not good at all...the DM tells you not to take any lds going into Tx cause its real slow there,and that's all you get sent to you on qualcomm by planners..hmmmm ok

 

I wonder about women who feel the need to fight thier mans battles ... as well as men who can't speak for themselves.

 

The lady is only trying to help out her fiance. My advice is to get ahold of Injun and see what she has to say. I am hoping she will this thread and offer input and maybe someone in PHX will see it too. If he does have pics, i'd advise him to send him to his DM's boss and explain the situation. Maybe this is the first time she/he has heard about it and may be able to make the necessary changes.

 

My husband has been working for swift also for a couple of months and he is having problems getting miles his DM always forgets about him and my husband has to call him every 30 mins to make sure his DM remembers. and I speak for my husband online because he doesn't like using computers... I feel for you.. Good Luck

 

I am not following you, If he didn't hit the trailer, what did he know to take pictures of? If he took pictures, did he use the camera Swift provides and send it in to safety with the reference number that they give you to use when you send the pictures? If after he was told of the wreck did he not ask for the reference number that Swift assigns to each incident and did he fill out the accident report in which he could have stated his case and avoid all the miscommunication that results from phone calls? Just wondering....

 

I ran for Swift for three months out of school; they treated me good. Columbus, Ohio, Jill Henry was my DM. Only left because of family needs and really wanted to O/O at the time.

About 5 months later I went to Schneider because pay was a little better and they work with O/Os. Needs of my family took me off the road; still looking for local gig. DBL - Jackie Walker is the whip..

Anyone know of a company with local dedicated, P&D, Intermodal, or tanker in C'bus area? I prefer local intermodal or something that has me home most days of the week.

 

If it is no longer working out, why has he not looked elsewhere?

I filled out an online "Teaser app" with Best Driver Jobs yesterday looking for a local job and today I received 44 emails and 11 phone calls from every regional and OTR company out there.

Okay, so they missed the part where I checked the box for "Local route" driver job, but at least they responded.

Incidentally, I had Buck from Wooster Motorways call me about a regional opportunity today off this "Teaser app." - It sounded pretty good, .38 a mile + other incentives, insurances, paid vacation time, home weekends. They run a little older equipment, but maintain their fleet from what I have seen in the past. Pass it on to the better drivers you know that are looking in central Ohio; might work out for them.
