That's because the selling price was three bottles, and a pack of bubble gum.

:wink:
That must mean I won the takeover................my last bid was a case of Jack, a carton of Marlboro Ultra Lights and threw in a 24 pack of Bud Lite to boot...................now I'll start getting things straightened out. Baby look out. cause we're gonna pimp out the Swift trucks....................

Spinners, chrome, chrome and more chrome...........Burgundy Pearl paint jobs, and sounds systems that you'll hear a mile away..........baby we may be slow but we be styling.

You all can send your applications to Swift_B_Pimpin. com......starting next week.

Hey with the spinners, no one will ever notice a few dings or cracks.

Well I didn?t hear that Swift bought anyone or anyone bought Swift, but I did talk to one of my old trucker buddies Sunday whom I knew from my days at Swift. This guy always had connections on the inside so he was usually good for a scoop or two. Anyway, he told me Sunday that Swift was fixing to make an announcement in the next 2 to 3 weeks regarding an impending across the board raise. Anyone else hear this?

Every trucking company has there bad equipment and bad drivers
LOLOL Werner trailers if you notice have avertical reflective stripe about 4 feet back of the front of the trailer. Why ? So the driver can observe it when backing etc and if it dissapears he should STOP. Check out werner trks sometime and notice how many mangled fairings they have.

UPDATE:

I sold Swift to a neighbor for five packs of chewing gum, and he mowed my lawn.

I think I made out good on the deal. :wink:

You owe me two packs of gum and a hedge trim..........how dare you sell my company...............my wife's a lawyer and if you keep screwing up my long range plans, I'll end up with all 5 packs of your gum and your sod. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
