Swift Trans
Dishonest, verbal assult, lack of experinced mentors

I was hired in Nov of 06 at the richmond, va terminal and was awaiting a mentor to go out for training. I left the Va area and went to Tx to help out my sister. I left messages with them that i did & I called them in Dec. They said that i would have to go through the work well again and redo my papper work, because of someone had quit and that i was left off the list to get a mentor. That was the start of the worst job ever and the lack of experience mentors that i'd ever met.

My 1st mentor said that i was taking meds while i was driving, there for i was put on safty only after a week of OTR My 2nd mentor bearly spoke any english and yelled at me for not driving over 10hrs a day and said that all i wanted to do was sleep. My 3rd and last mentor was a special circumstance mentor that had just finished up 6 weeks of training, and had gone through the Swift school.

Over the corse of 1.5 weeks, i was called everything in the book and that i couldnt drive nor back up. Also this person used the comp equiptment to move. She/Him had put all of thier stuff upon the top bunk, and said that the cab part was also a sleeper berth. So i slept in the seats. At the Salt Lake city Terminal, i had accidently for got to lock the truck, and when she/he found out. Proceedly to viberly assult me and then punched me. I made a report of this to Kent at the terminal, and now he nor the driver managers at my home terminal (Lancaster, Tx) cand find this reprot that i'd filed.

After all of that i went back to the truck to get all my stuff, and found all except my Feb log and address book had been throw out behind the truck. I call my terminal and they told me to find someone going back to Tx, That was on the 13th of Mar. On the 19th of march i finaly got back to Tx after getting a bus ticket back.

I am still in search if legal counsel for filling a grievence against Swift for Defermation, Assult and battery. Plus safty hazards w / the equiptment.
