Swift Mentor Saftey Concerns

Alright all I need help. My mentor is crazy and reckless. He also has 500,000 miles under his belt as a company driver for swift and I'm not sure I'll be taken seriously by Swift. I'm off off his truck now and am waiting for a new mentor but I believe this man to be a menace. ANY help or advice that y'all can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Below are my concerns and reasons why I can no longer be paired with my mentor. While he is mostly nice, he has sudden and extreme mood swings that make working with him very difficult.

For starters, he's been my mentor for 5 days. He hasn't showered or changed his clothes in 5 days. He refuses to allow me to stop for a shower either. Hygiene is part of the swift policy.

Everyday occurrence During first 50 hours:

Mentor sits/lays on back bunk for majority of time while student is driving. Mentor walks around inside cab while vehicle is in motion. Does not uses seat belt or safety equipment. Mentor has been asked repeatedly by student to use safety equipment while student is driving. Mentor refuses. Student is liable for mentors actions while student is driving vehicle. Student does not wish to receive a traffic ticket.

Mentor uses phone and headphones while student is driving. During the probationary first 50 hours this is against the Mentor rules.

Inside of cab is full of unsecured projectiles. Mentor will not allow student to secure belongings in cab.

While sitting on bottom bunk Mentor frequently yells at student over politics or criticism of students personal life while student is driving. Creating a hostile work environment and overly stressful driving situations.

Despite being asked not to, mentor frequently makes changes to students logs. Mentor refuses to teach student Qualcomm and does it for the student. Student has informed mentor that those are legal documents and what the mentor is doing is a crime. Mentor is on video saying "I don't give a ####. I'll do with your logs as I like".

Safety concerns:

3/27: Approximately 7:00 am local: Mentor moved vehicle while student was asleep and unsecured on top bunk.

Approximately 8:00 pm local: Mentor told student to drive 4-5 mph over speed limit. Student refused. Mentor said that the cops wouldn't care and Student should do it anyway. Student refused.

3/29: Approximately 4:00 pm: Mentor instructed student to stop on train tracks while waiting for red light. Student refused to move onto tracks until cars at intersection had moved and there was room to fit the semi on the other side of tracks. Mentor insisted. Student refused.

Approximately 8:00 pm local. Mentor instructed student to park in a no parking zone. Student asked 3 times to park elsewhere. There was legal parking 400 feet away. Mentor refused. Law enforcement arrived and gave level 3 vehicle inspection and warning.

3/30: Approximately 7:30 am local: Mentor told student to follow truck into intersection to make left turn. Truck was blocking sight of traffic light (which was red). Student refused to enter intersection illegally. Mentor said student should follow directions and not question him any further on safe conduct of vehicle.

Approximately 3:30 local: While driving, mentor FaceTimed unknown person for two hours and cussed about the "pinche gringo" in his truck.

Mentor threatened to make false report on student and get him fired from swift if student reported his safety concerns. Mentor claims he felt threatened by student. Student never got within 3 feet of mentor due to odor.

Noted for any future occurrence. Hopefully, there will be none. I asked my classmates and none of them are having these problems..
