I've been driving off and on since 1994. Over 1million miles easy. Was a trainer at swift for 8 out of 9 months and it went o.K. At best until x-mas time.in dec 07' i was in ca. Trying to get my student and i home for x-mas and was told to take a load to the northeast and that there was no other option. I was left with no choice so i took my student to his phoenix terminal and i continued on to my terminal in el paso tx. To turn the truck in and go home. They told me i had to take the load to the northeast even though i was a western regional driver. I told them i would not take it and they said that they would see to it that i would never get another trucking job again. They sent me a termination letter stating that i abandoned their equipment and load which is far from the truth as i left the truck and load in the secure terminal. I tried to talk to the powers to be in charge in phoenix with no success. I only got voicemails and they never returned my calls. They seemed to forget all about the 9 months of good service i gave them with no tickets, accidents, or lates. I've worked for several companies and all are positive referals. I haven't checked my dac yet but i'm pretty sure they've screwed it up for me. I just found this site and if anyone reading can help me i'm all ears. I'm looking into legal action and i'm very willing to join in a class action lawsuit against swift transportation for defamation of character etc... Looking forward to your feedback and replies. Sorry so long but drivers need to know what is going on in these big companies that think that they can just slam all of us good truck drivers. Peace!
