Swift Transportation just another victim of swift Phoenix Arizona

when i was out with my trainer we were at this one stop to p/u a load early in the morning and my trainer was shall i say still on the clock,he asked me to get in the drivers seat and pull the trailer out when we were done but to be carefull as there was no lighting around the docks,as i was pulling out slowly i thought i wasn't applying enough gas as the truck was not moving any more i pressed down a little more then my trainer started to tell me to stop when i did i applied the brakes and turned off the truck and stepped out.

as it turns out the previous driver did not lock the trailer door in place and it swung open and caught on a dumpster located too close to the docks,we then contacted our company about the situation and a repairman was called out to fix the doorwhen the only damage bent hinges and the lower corner was busted-up a little enough to put your fist through.then one day we passed through our home terminal to take a couple of days off before completing my training i was told by my driver manager that i now have an accident on my record,thats nice,all this over a d**n door.

Im finally own my own for a month now when i was at this stop to p/u a load when i was told by shipping that i needed a 14' high trailer,all i had was a 13'6 high trailer and i was informed by shipping they were having this problem with other drivers(no thanks to swift),that was when i decided to quit after a month of receiving lousy miles,directions and being chewed-out by my drivermanager for driving to a truckstop after a drop off a couple of times and not to mention the only time i would take a shower was when they would send me to a terminal for fuel that would be about every 3 to 4 days,i drove from bellingham washington back to nevada on a saturday turned in the keys cleaned the inside of my truck and went home,two weeks later i received a letter from the phoenix terminal that my employment was terminated.

I then received letters from swift wanting me to pay $100 amonth to pay back the tuition for the driving school i went to so i did for the next 3 months and decided to stop,unless im wrong i do not recall the contract saying im still responsible for the tuition cost even if my employment was terminated,i started to receive a letter from a collection agency for about $2300 what they say i owed those letters stopped and i was receiving letters from another agency for the same amount but this one tacked on another $800 for a collection fee which put the amount over $3000 what else can i say except im just another screwed victim by one of the worst companys in the business.
