Swift - Input Requested from Current / Recent Past Drivers

Thank you for taking that much time to reach out and offer your assistance. I will double check next week that I am under the wrong information. Your points are certainly valid. This is not a typical situation. I've been wrong before.

Thank you kindly.

Ok. Thank you for your input. That's how I recalled but wasn't told to do different on this particular load. Thanks for taking the time to chime in.

I walked the terminal lot today again and managed to locate an empty. I've claimed it and verified it as available. I've sent in my update that I have a confirmed empty and to please set me up on another trip. Appears quite a few trailers in here this morning.

This is morning three and I still have no responses to two previous days of the questions that I've asked. But I did get a message that they finally removed me from my expired load I was violating while sitting here. Perhaps my ON status was justified? Uncertain.

Next paycheck shows I'll be paid $21.15 for last week. And in fairness to Swift I'll post my Gross was $303.00. Deductions. Swift offers drivers 'advanced pay' option. To where you can usually get $105.00 advance on the next coming week.


Heres to to hoping for a better day for all of us.

Weekend dispatch has replied to my finding an available trailer. Informed is a rental and can not be used. Appears was given wrong availability info. I'm back to no empty. I've asked I believe fifth time for an empty. Or assistance or direction. I'll continue to look.

Thank you for chiming in. Is always appreciated.

I left the terminal still no communication on any of my questions for last few days. So I stepped out to a TA to get a bite.

In earlier posts I've mentioned UNPLATED vehicles criss crossing my path here and there. Often parked along side the road. Unoccupied. Or retired police cars kind of in the same manner. I took video of two last evening seemingly going wherever I was going. I turn they turn. I broke out the video camera and the video will show one taking off very quickly with no license plate. The other fast but not obnoxiously. Just curious why so much time, resources and money is being used. A private meeting would have sufficed.

Coming across one now and again isn't uncommon for anyone. I've managed to photo 4 to 6 some days at my known travel destinations. Attached is one of those several. Big open road. Sitting all alone. Unplated.

I see it as a 'hello' statement when trying figure out how so many unplated vehicles aren't cited or towed. I'll just document. You make the call. How many do you see a day? Legitimate question.


Respectfully,

Also a welcome wagon at the front gate of the TA. Perhaps with a message that there are other outlets being used to harm my privacy and / or name. You make the call. Perhaps tune in to their POD casts. I want you to witness first hand. If I shut a door they just open another. Your call. And yes I've heard. If you hear anything helpful. Please feel free to comment here.

Maybe I should see a doctor. (Smiles)

From my estimation. It took approximately 47 hrs to get a response to one of my questions asked numerous times. I was just assigned a load. But it's already expired. I've asked for it to be updated. Waiting on other answers. Such as refuel. And to get home next weekend to have a sit down with my family on what was stolen and aired. And my privacy curtains issue is still not resolved. I've ordered them to a terminal. Hopefully have privacy issue resolved this coming week. I temporarily got it semi closed. I can deal with that for a few more days. See, I'm willing to meet half way or more.

Waiting on assignment confirmation. I accepted expired load with alternate working dates and times. No confirmation on it yet. Over 48 hours on other answers still.

Thank you for continuing to monitor this thread.

This is a great reminder. Thank you!
