    Lol. Just had to call payroll about something missing on my check , and wow the lady was so helpful, and even gave me some pointers about putting things on receipts to get reimbursed faster .
    Hey things are looking up .
    At central it would have taken me all day just to get in touch with payroll. Lol

    Glad I changed my drastic decisions and stuck around .
     
    Moosetek13 and Lady K Thank this.

    Hey, even though I left, I have to say everybody I've talked to from Swift has been very nice and helpful.
    I had direct deposit for pay set up from day one with Central. When I left I shredded my comdata card. BIG MISTAKE! Turns out they put my last 2 pays on my card for some reason instead of the direct deposit. I thought, OH CRAP, this is going to be a nightmare to fix!
    Called payroll, the lady gave me all my information and I had it transferred to my bank account that afternoon.

    Glad to hear things are getting better for the drivers.

    And generally after you talk to payroll, you can go on line and find that your statement has already been corrected and brought current.
     
    Lady K Thanks this.

    She told me normally we can do that . This time it had to approved she said , but it will be . I had to get a trailer washout , sent in th 28 and never got a PO# back. So she looked up the trip # and it said wash out required , so it should be there next week . No big worries .. just glad it was simple , and easy to get taken care of .


    Anyone going into the jonestown yard in PA at all . I will be here the rest of the week cause they are keeping me local , so I can go home this weekend ..

    HazMat test, thru Swift? How does that work. Is this for your "H" endorsement? You guys hauling radioactive food now...lol.
    I just went an took the test for my endorsement at the D.O.T. driver center. I found a couple companies that will take me, if I get my "H" on my license.
    Nice to see they're keeping you local so you can get home.

     
    tangerineGT Thanks this.

    You should have copies of the HM books in your truck, don't you?
    There is also the DMV manual.
    I think there are also practice test on this site that you can either practice with or be looking for matching questions as you take the Swift test.

    The possibilities are endless.
