I can relate to some of the complaints you guys are talking about. I do believe that the drivers have to read the papers before they sign on with any company. They do sound absolutly wonderful when you are talking to them on the phone but in all honesty they are cheaters.
My husband leased a truck and had to go to Seattle, WA to pick it up. He then drove all the away to Phoenix, AZ to do the paperwork. The first week they did give him a lot of miles. (well of couse he needed to pay for the truck). During his first year he discovered that there was a lot of discrepancies with his paychecks. The people in the payroll department get pay per hour so they do not care if your paperwork is in or not. They lose the bills, or conveniently leave it for the next pay.
Your next week you have less miles to run, but the payment of the truck is already taken care of because of the bills that showed up from your previous week.
My husband was hit by another truck and the fault was on the other driver. The police report showed it wasn't his fault.
He decided to quit the company and someone took over his lease, he was charged $1500 for the "accident charge". This "so call accident" happened in July 05 and they waited until now to charge him for it. They knew he was supposed to be reimbursed that money, because it is one of the million charges you pay to them while you are driving.
Again, the drivers need to "read" everything they sign and they should do their homework about a company before you start working for them. But that swift is an auful company to work for is true.
