Swift Lawsuit $$$??

I actually just contacted the attorney. Here's the deal. Right now there are 800 plaintiffs. Swift knows who is involved as the attorney stated they have a right to know who's suing them. Sometime in the next months a notice will go out to 30-80,000 drivers and they expect to have as many as 15-20,000 plaintiffs. He said I could wait and be one of 15,000 rather than one of 800. He said there are stiff penalties for retaliation but that retaliation is not unheard of and that it would be easy for your miles to sort of just dry up. The difference between 33-3500 miles a week and 2500 miles a week is the differnve between me starving or not. I'm going to wait.

 

I'm actually on a nationwide dedicated account now. I've been on a couple different accounts with swift and I do like this one. I hated Kraft which was a kind of regional and it got boring going to the same 10-15 places. Right now I average around 3400 miles spring summer and fall and about 2800 miles in the winter roughly December through February. Right now it's Friday night and I'm sitting on 2100 miles. This should be one of those 37-3800 mile weeks and then next week I'll need a reset and be around 2900-3000. That's typical on this account solo. One thing I like about this account is I can run 11 hours everyday. I typically do about 10:45 on duty. If I can do that im forced to do a 34 and never have to work on recap. If they need me to take only 24 hours off I have 10.5 - 11 hours coming to me for the next 6 days. I've about gotten this thing down to a science lol.
