Judge certifies class in short mile case against Swift Transportation

An Arizona Superior Court judge has certified a class action lawsuit in the short mile case against Swift Transportation Co., originally filed back in 2004.

Lead plaintiffs’ attorney, Leonard W. Aragon, of the law firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLC, told Land Line on Aug. 19 that the judge essentially certified two classes of drivers, including employee drivers and owner-operators, who contracted with Swift.

The class has been defined as owner-operators who contracted with Swift after March 6, 2001, and as employee drivers, who worked for the company after April 9, 2009.

Aragon said class action notices have been mailed out to more than 62,000 drivers.
