It, s to bad that you can't record a phone call while you drive.
My driver manager told me that I needed to log 57 mph to make a delivery time. He insisted that I wouldn't get a ticket from Oregon or California however D.O.T. Personnel of these states disagree.
He also said that I shouldn't log fuel stops, inspections, etc. Well I'm not going to write my own ticket and this is also against company policy. Now I'm sure alot of you have great driver managers, but alot of us don't.
When it snows my truck (Swift's) is slowing down. When I haven't got the hours to drive I'm shutting down. Swift will be getting their truck back in better condition than I got it.
So they can have my driver manager with his deniability drive it and not get his lay-over pay and pay tickets instead of earn money.
They write rules that they don't want you to follow, and then fire you if you break them. I've finally got home (he didn't like that) and I've already got a new job. They'll get their truck on Monday.
If you're having the same problems Quit the violations cost more than you'll get paid for the trip. Good luck and please be safe none of us want to die for Swift.
