almost daily.
Got back to Gary Indiana Terminal, FINALLY!
Got issued my own truck. # 1112 ;o)
a sweet Volvo.
* I did the repairs, ME. NOT swift. *
They almost never touched it, maybe for a few tires
or a clutch 1 time in North Carolina... Lol long story. But anyway...
Never missed a load or delivery, not in 16 months.
Got fired for missing a portable, non-legal weight stop in PA.
Swift took my truck. Went O/O and today got a letter in the mail.
"Dear Sir.." The Swift school CDL you now have and most others
from May to Jan are now invalid.
Good Luck and Tough luck
TN dept of safety and Ohio Dept of safety.
No kidding.
Now i don't have a CDL and can't rent, beg or borrow a truck to
re-take my CDL all over again.
I want my $ 3,900 back,
any suggestions?
