    It was centrals payroll. I'm assuming because it came up as a wvc number. Not a Phoenix number. And yeah. I had the same reaction. I was almost speechless. Lol

    Today I called , I didn't get detention pay for a load and asked why.
    lady said its because I was late .
    I said yea the receiver i was at before had me there for ever , I sent in messages saying , I was gonna be running late because I also had to get a trailer washout .
    she oh, ok I see thats why the system , didn't plan time for washout . Said that she would put it in for review , it may take a week . Two hrs later got a message saying it was approved all ready.
    can't beat that . Lol

    Lol, I think everyone has to do it eventually. I was in the shop last week and a safety guy said as long as I was there, I might as well get it over with. 2 hr live classroom. Enjoy!

    Not EVERYONE has to do it. I turned my truck in Sunday, took a job back in the field of land surveying (my profession of 20 years prior to trucking). I'd gone to trucking because of a lack of work in surveying, but the workload has come back and so did I.

    Haha, good point! Hey good luck to you. If it slows down again, I bet there'll be an unseated truck somewhere...maybe.

    Im really getting sick of these classes, and simulators have to be done by 7/4 and this and that. Its getting rediculous. Its just there way to get drivers into a terminal every couple months. Other wise they would have us do all the classes required all at once.

    Lolololololololol. Swift pay us for it. Man that's a good joke. But to be honest i don't know. But I doubt it. Heck. I think even technically/legally you have to be on duty while you're sitting in the class.
