Hello, my name is Kevin I started driving for Swift Transportation 3 years 4 months ago. I worked my way up and became an Owner Operator on December 21. I need to get in touch with the department of labor or an attorney because, Swift fired me for an accident I didn't even have. I have called different employees at Swift, from safety, the owner operator division, my own terminal in Laredo, Tx and all over.
For me to say they have been giving me the runaround would be an understatement. I had asked for an appeal and the safety coordinator in Laredo didn't even send in the appeal for me. Because of this i have lost my lease truck, lost my job, have been degraded and dehumiliated in front of my peers in the Laredo terminal.
Mainly because, I was on a load going to be delivered in Laredo and I stopped by home because it was on the way there. Swift didn't have the common decency to tell me what was even happening. I delivered the load in Laredo and was given another load going out to California. So, i went to the Laredo terminal to get the trailer and leave. When i go to get the bill of lading from the planner he tells me to hand over the keys to my truck and to clean it out. That was the first time i had even heard anything about my being let go.
After almost 3 weeks of not getting anywhere with any answers pertaining to my being "let go" i finally find out about this supposed accident I was in. Then I find out the man claiming that I hit his pickup didn't even notify Swift about any accident until oalmost a month after it supposedly happened. But, Swift issued the man a check for repairs the very same week he contacted them. Why is that?
To this day I still can't get in touch with anyone who can help me out.
