Attorneys File Lawsuit * USA - Against Tennessee, Swift over yanked CDLs
TENN, USA -Land Line Magazine -May 11, 2009 : -- At least four lawsuits have been filed in response to the estimated 5,000 CDLs the state of Tennessee declared invalid after investigating the Swift Transportation’s Tennessee trucking school in 2008... The latest suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Tennessee this past week, and names Tennessee Department of Safety Commissioner David Mitchell and Swift as defendants... In February 2008, the state-certified CDL testing center at a Swift Trucking facility near Memphis was raided by multiple state and federal agencies. Documents were seized, and the investigation reportedly centered on the illegal issuance of CDLs... Although no charges emerged, in January 2009 the Tennessee Department of Safety announced that drivers who obtained CDLs through one third-party tester in Tennessee between May 2005 and January 2008 might be required to do a complete retest... A Freedom of Information Act request by Land Line later revealed the tester was Swift... (Photo: media.commercialappeal - swift School.jpg)
