I heard that they are paid $250 per load less than taylor. Are you saying its worse than that?



Also whats your read on when we'll get cut off? At what price per barrel will they stop us? I figured $60, my boss says $50.

If you can find a Swift truck with his radio on, start a rumor and maybe they will all quit.
