Thats rich from someone who works in the office at Swift. Heather thinks of herself as a "big dawg" but she is not a driver and most likely does not even hold a CDL, as I have gathered from her previous posts.

ALL dispatchers, driver managers, etc. should be former drivers and should hold and maintain a CDL. They should also be available the entire shift that the driver works. Thats right, no more 8 hour days. We are talking 14 plus hours a day, any of the seven days a week including weekends and holidays and after hours.

And the word is "Environment" NOT "inviorment". At least learn how to spell if you are going to be condescending to someone.

I think you should spend a few months behind the wheel of a truck before you consider yourself a "big dawg". This comes from a seasoned driver with over 1.5 million logged commercial miles.

Standard drivel from an uneducated office puke.

First of all you may need to read that again like the first person, my beef is with the MANAGERS NOT THE DRIVERS!!!!!!! and second of all I said i worked for them for 4 years. NOT THAT ive been a DM for only 4 years for your info i have 12 years under my belt and and word for a company now that acutally care about their drivers so you need to read the article again Its not the drivers I had a beef with!!!! If you took the time actually read my gripe, you would have saw that was over 6 YEARS AGO!!!! I dont know or care how they are screwing you or the drivers now!!! I have been notified for several class action law suits against them! So Good luck to you!

There are many people across this counrty that work in the office that sacrafice blood sweat and tears for this company. Give me a mive manager that only works 10 hrs a day and takes their lunch, and I will give you a inactive fleet.

Those that are in transpotation for any period of time (not 4 years)know that drivers are our everything. In many cases, they are also our friends. We walk with them through a new career, we walk with them through there family changes (while going through a new lifestyle), and we go through every "emergency" with them. If you felt the drivers @ Swift were getting screwed, you deserved not to be promoted.

You wanted to be a Operation Manager with that attitude? We rely on op's mgrs to find the balance between the driver and csr. You obviously were not qualified to make those decisions. Your attitude refects that. I have seen at least 30 drivers from my fleet go from inexperienced driver to paying off their lease. Why? because I dont beleive my drivers are getting screwed!! Drivers want to be treated with respect and honestly. If you cant do that, I wish you all the best in retail. Keep in mind, you are behind the eight ball. You have already shown you can not treat customers (IE our drivers) as they are gold so how are you going to do that in a mall? Christmas season is comming

First of all my husband drove for years, so dont go tell me about hometime, If thats the job you choose u need to be prepared to face the consequences, I didnt choose to drive a truck but obviously you did. Second of all the terminal managers and company rules state when a driver can be off and how many days you get off for every day you run, and if you had a problem with the days off you shouldnt have stayed there, third of all, that response had absolutely nothing to do with my complaint mr matthew if you dont think you need a driver manager, you might want to look real hard before you hire on with a company that has driver managers, that had absolutely nothing to do with drivers my report was on the higher ups in the company!!!!! Frankly them holding YOU ALL BACK WITH BULL CRAP RULES AND SLOW TRUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and blaming us for everything you all do!! A company of this magnitude has to have dispatchers, the planner cant plan and dispatch thousands of trucks!!!

I can only imagine how many drivers u stood back and screwed when your 'hometime' came, whether it was you doing it, or one of your driver manager buddies doing it. I dont know you ms veronica, but let me be frank with you, even 'semi' experienced drivers, dont need a driver manager. we need a planner, a safety person, a mechanic, ex drivers or senior drivers who can tell us what to do, but a driver manager, we dont need.

let me see if i have this about right?
this is what you do, you msg the planners for us,
you send out 'dont forget to send macro 42 when under a hazmat load' you send out 'send in your macro 10 if you havent' i mean come on, seriously
you might not be any of the things i said, i dont see you making it there that long, if you werent, but even if you werent, driver managers are only on duty from 7-1700, drivers are on duty 14 more hours a day, and 2 more days a week (if there are no holidays, cause you get holidays off) so at best your saying we need driver managers like how much of the time? 30%, 50 hours out of a 168 hour long week?
