I was driving for Variant for over a year when they merged with U. S Express and were bought by Swift. In April of 2024 they began firing drivers. When I arrived at the Allentown terminal in late April, a friend told me they were firing people, one after another for the last couple weeks. I hadn't done anything so I wasn't worried, however the safety office person pulled up a video of me making a U-turn as a fireable offense. This was on a divided hyway, so I had to make the U-turn. There was a sign showing to make a U-turn, but the U-turn intended for trucks must have been farther up the rd. It was past one in the morning and dark so I could tell until in the lane. This was a mistake, however the safety person was practically screaming that I almost killed someone. There was no one there. It was deserted and I had a green arrow. I was also bobtail so I could make the turn fine. I did consider just turning left and turning around somewhere in there, but it didn't look like there was somewhere to do that, so I made the U-turn. I find it strange to be fired for a completely uneventful U-turn, but this persons behavior was what was really weird. I have since found out that this person put that I am a "safety risk" or something on my DAC report. This is a lie. I had no accidents or tickets. I pay attention and don't play with my phone. What is he talking about? Then I realized he must be spying on me. This is invasion of privacy. I started trying to use the new method of magnetic resonance (like telepathy sort of) on people after this person started saying I have hundreds of points everytime someone slows down? I would try to get people to move away from the truck by sending "bad vibes" essentially, because I'm not supposed to pull off, and not supposed to pass usually, I really didn't know what else to do, because he would point at normal traffic and say it was bad. Let me say I pay attention and avoided many accidents, and I was praised for this before I got assigned to this person. Whether you think that magnetic resoning works or not, it shouldn't be a reason to get fired or be smeared and lied about. That is libel. I know that this is the real reason for my firing, this person was near screaming over nothing, lied on my DAC and continues to lie to any potential employer that calls. Another reason I know he is spying on people is because some of the other people were fired for being on their phone. U. S Express is not abiding by their word to not violate people's privacy. Employee's are routinely spying on drivers. I now wonder how many times this person listened to my private conversations, or watched me. This is illegal and U. S Express is allowing a representative to commit libel against past employees.
