    So for a few weeks now I have been waiting for this , and its here .
    So who knows what all is changing , cause at first they told us nothing was gonna change . Now I see central trks with swift stickers on them .
    And by nothing changing they said the only thing was that we would now be owned by swift but still operate as central. For some reason I am not a believer. .

    I'd say your goal should be to finish first year with the Co whatever the name may be with no adventures and move on to greener pastures.

    Of course it was going to happen. Do you see any company that swift bought running Around Without Being Dissolved Into swift?

    Ok well yea I see ur point , however it was kinda of a question cause as I stated they told me nothing was changing and it is , so even though I have to be here for my year I would still like to know what's going on .
    Am I right for thinking that way or no ?

    And plus they want us to copy our elogs on paper cause the account is changing as well ,
    Safty guy told me to round the time at the 7th min , and now I have to logs on my trk that don't match completely , shhhhh

    You round it for purposes of paper,in the remarks you can list the actual time. Or throw in a couple of 15 minute pee stops. Everytime I first 15 minutes goes to line 1, then down to line 4 for fuel or what ever.

    From what I've been told from a few friends that I know who still work at Central, is that everything is transitioning to Swift, with the exception of a Central name on the trailers, small name on the tractor, and a few terminals that will remain open. Everything from the Qualcomm, macros, pay, shops, dispatchers, planners, etc, etc...all Swift. So yea, I kid my friends...you're all Swift drivers now....
