Swift doesn't care

A friend recently switched terminals and DM's. He has his DM's cell number, and she works on Saturdays!!

AS far as preventables......I had one listed for a couple of weeks. My DM kept pounding on safety to take it off. When you have an incident you are guilty until proven innocent. I finally got it removed. Same thing with a service failure. I picked up a load that was supposed to be picked up by midnight the night before. I had pulled over to check the preplan. I entered the address into my GPS. It came up I had arrived! I got caught in traffic in Wilmington because of rain and accidents. I got within 60 miles and had to shut down due to HOS. I sent messages about traffic etc and never got responses. That sat on my record for 3 weeks. The CSR refused to get off their butt to fix it. (maybe it fell on them?)

You have to kick and bite to preserve your record sometimes.

 

he didn't know anything about the "accident" until swift called him and asked him what happen, and he didn't know what they were talking about until they said someone called on him saying he hit a trailer, and that's when the guy told him to take pictures to basically safe his butt. He doesn't have a accident reference number but i'm on the phone with him now and he says that they gave him a claim number and he doesn't know what to do with it? Is that to just to identify what "accident" they are talking about.

 

That's it. Any communication with Swift has to include that claim/reference number. He still needs to fill out the accident report and send it in with the Swift camera with the claim number written on the camera.

Just today a qualcom message was sent out discussing just this topic. Co inky dink? Hmmmmm

 

Yes I've gotten that message several times the last few days. Stupid little beeps in the middle of the day--

I'm sorry, but that statement is entirely out of line. For one thing, your reference to "men who can't speak for themselves" is irrelevant because nothing was even mentioned about whether or not the OP's fiance spoke up for himself, but it was mentioned that he took pictures so it sounds like he's at least willing if he hasn't already. And, for another, posting on an internet forum would hardly be considered fighting her man's battles in any kind of loose use of the phrase. Maybe you like it when your significant other couldn't give a rat's ### about what happens to you, but I'll bet most people aren't like that and absolutely NO ONE can make it alone in this world no matter how much you would like to believe otherwise. We all have to have help at some point, even if that help is emotional support which is what I see being given by the OP to her man. For that, she should be commended and not ridiculed.

 

The people you call to report anything ask leading questions to any situations. They are like prosecutors.

Gotta chose your words carefully. They ask the same crap over and over, hoping you will trip up.


Friggin jerks!

 

Driver hits a deer and reports it. Claims person reads back the report she wrote up based on the conversation, her first words were 'so you hit the deer near mile marker...' and driver jumps her right there to correct her, 'deer hit me' lol.

I have heard of drivers getting their hoods raked over by trailers while parked, but if they were not perfectly in the lines on the ground fault would be assigned to the parked driver.

 

Blah blah, whats the other side of the story.

 

Some of our men don't have internet access out on the road. They rely on US to get them information, thank you very much.

 

This is why even if it takes a couple extra pullups I always make sure I'm centered in the spot and the tractor is square with the trailer. Besides it looks better that way. I'll also goal and make sure I'm as far back in the spot as possible. Drives me nuts when a spot is made tighter to get in because of some guy that is crooked and not all the way in his spot, its just laziness.
