Swift enters ltl world

Do you have drive facing camera?

 

AAA cooper use to have the DFC but have since turned them off.

 

We have dual cameras with the DFC deactivated as of now.

 

I'd argue it could still very well be active. I wouldn't trust it. I'm suspicious like that lol.

 

They put a sticker on the forward facing lense rhe says the camera has been deactivated. But to your point, there is a special privacy mini visor that flips down (presumably intended for OTR trucks to shield drivers while they are in their sleeper bunks). I'll flip it down whenever I start my shift.

 

I can confirm DFC at cooper are currently turned off. Cooper had too many drivers leaving due to them.

I work for cooper, and currently im alittle worried. I never worked OTR because they never paid well in my opinion. I’m not like you old farts; I’m not okay with working 60-70 hours a week. I can’t believe the industry is okay with that for local work.

Swift/knight from my experience is predatory carrier that targets minorities that don’t know any better.

reid dove, coopers ceo said via internal email/ Qualcomm all operations well remain the same and that cooper with maintain independence within the knight-swift family of companies. I don’t see any company laying down 1.35billion and letting the sister company remain independent.

I’ll let you guys know if/when my pay goes down. Currently most terminals pay around $29.55hr for P+D and 0.69mile Linehaul. No time and a half, no sick pay, and no PPO insurance only high deductible HSA plans.

 

Ya think Reid Dove and Bill Zollars are related ?

 

cooper in Montgomery is not paying 29.55 and they are trying not to have the drivers work over 55 hours per week. which terminal you out of?

 

I can’t tell you which terminal because I’m buddy buddy with half a dozen terminal managers you’d find me in a heartbeat. Also my terminal has 14 drivers so it’s small there are no dock workers

but I’m in Florida. I know each terminal has its own pay scale based on geographic location; Miami pays like .50 more but it doesn’t matter because for $1800 a month I can have a mansion in my city versus a garage in miami.

also to clarify I’m not working 60-70 consistently but it does happen to me around the last three months of the year because of the holidays. I average 45ish but right now I’m doing 55ish

They had me doing Linehaul every Saturday for a month and I’m not in bottle of the totem poll.

 

I hate how truck companies can just do what they want. No overtime is complete bs.
