A federal judge in Arizona has ruled that Swift Transportation Co. http://www.swifttrans.com/ improperly treated some of its drivers as contractors rather than employees, a legal setback that opens the biggest U.S. truckload carrier to claims for millions of dollars in back wages.

The ruling, which comes after a seven-year legal battle, affects only five drivers but could open up Swift to similar claims from thousands of truckers who drove for the Phoenix-based company over the last decade.
