SWIFT

Just got my letter and final paycheck from Swift...It says I quit..Well I'm only out about 150.00$...They lied from the get go...Recruiter said I could have my comfort zone..only go as far north as Pa...O.K. Said I would be paid .36 cpm...O.K. Went through orientation then out with a trainer for Qual-comm and new rules on logging..O.K. Then come in wait 3 days for truck..Then told truck would be in shop as least 3 days...O.K...Finally got Driver Manager assigned and he explained they run 48 states and my comfort zone wasn't available...oh and by the way I only get paid .34cpm..Well I figure better part of valor is to keep mouth shut...I'll go home seeing as how it's right before Thanksgiving and I love TURKEY...Now comes the fun....When I email my DM and explain what I was told he explains to me that "THIS IS THE WAY IT IS"...Needless to say I never got my money back for my bus ticket..I did get my notice from Swift that I quit...I guess it's not to bad tho...I never was actually assigned the truck and I was never dispatched through Swift. So I can chalk this up to experience learned and will know more of what to ask on the next one...Only had my CDL for 11 years...been driving local the last 1 and 1/2 years now I would like to go OTR but I'm old school and don't remember ever being treated this badly before...Hopefully I will get some answers from the decent companies and will be watching the boards for all these bad ones....THANKS everyone for all your posts.HOBO !!!
