But you're running for a "coolie" carrier. How can you be having a good experience?

:wink:

Nicely put. Basically, for every driver complaining about a carrier, ANY carrier, there are a hundred more doing just fine.

 

Just got back in from the road...The point of my post was not to bash Swift, just heard some stuff and wondered if it was true. If people are driving there and are happy, then great for them. I thought things might be getting tougher on the drivers if Swift had gotten in trouble.

 

Well they must have gotten into some kind of trouble over here at Inland Cold Storage in Riverside, CA....Swift is out and Schneider is in.

 

TF, I always knew that there was hope for ya. :wink: Welcome to the gang! We meet regularly, right here. :lol: 8) :wink:

 

Swift lost the contract because Schneider under bid them. Happens when Companies want to get the best rate for freight.

 

I don't have a problem with Swift drivers I have a problem with Swifts policeys. I drive oversize heavy haul cuz I can't back up Least I don't wana Only been doing this 34 years, my pilots tell me "Ok to move Right" "I Got the left lane". But what piss%ss me off is that last night a Swift was trying to back in beside me.. I turned on my load lights so he could see my wide load. Turned out the trainor was out guiding him back. After I took two BP pills I got out and talked to them, the new driver had two weeks on the road and the Old Hand trainer had been out here a whopping two months !!!!! Ahhhhh, where did road experiance go

 

2 months? FTW? I'm no fan of Swift but that is just WRONG!

As for chef and synchro, maybe they have been treating you well thus far, but it's likely because they hosed an experienced driver like me to give the newbies a shot. Don't worry they'll screw you over too eventually.

 

I had a plumber (ex-trucker) tell me that since he's traded occupations he's realized there's a big difference between Swift drivers and toilets.

A toilet can back up once in a while. :lol:

 

i hate it how people can become mentors after 2 months of otr experience. i wouldn't be able to take somebody like that seriously. i think there should be a minimum of 2 years otr experience with no preventable accidents, major violations, etc.....

 

2 months? Wow!! That is just wrong. 6 months was the shortest that I had ever heard of before.
