    I wonder what the policy would be if we owned our truck outright and not leased through SWIFT/Central?

    Own your own truck and you make the rules?
    Is that it?

    It really doesn't work that way any more.

    theyll give you the same ration of crap that central gave me when I ask about leasing my tractor on with them. "Our trailers can't be pulled faster than 68mph due to insurance". Bottom line is, if you deal with swift you must play by their rules. The thing is, there's better places to work with better money and less hassle they are just an application away for the good drivers! That's all I'm gonna say since my driving style is more vanilla than outlaw. LoL. I just like playing the devils advocate sometimes.

    Let's see..... It looks fairly Catholic...Heart of Christ, Cross, Fish, Crown? I've no idea what it actually is though. I used to be a little better at symbology, but I specialized mostly in occult symbols. I've been out of the game for 20+ years though.

    When I was still with my trainer , a friend of his owned his own truck outright , he was saying one time he was limited to 65 at the time. His was bought and payed for , not a lease .

    Its all insurance reasons , they can claim what ever in the hell they want , but thats what it all boils down to. Well the little bit of fuel savings is hidden in there to .

    You forgot the ankh, the Egyptian symbol for eternal life.
    The fish is the loop of the ankh.
    The heart shape is formed with the first 7 segments of the double spiral, but the actual structure can go on forever. The further out it goes the more closely the shape looks like an egg.

    Yes, there is a lot of symbology from different places in it.
    Are you familiar with the Fibonacci series of numbers, and the Golden Section?

    I suspect that it is this structure that was the inspiration for both the ankh, which is associated with eternal life, and the heart shape that we associate with true love.
    Among other things.

    Wow! I just read the last few pages of this thread and now I finally know. I finally know it's ME all the drivers are talking to when they come on the cb and say, "Hey Dumb #####".

    Actually, that conversation had very little to do with intelligence. Nothing we talked about was more complicated than legally operating a truck.

    Well, I don't know much about what y'all have been discussing, but I did just display some symbology to a USA Truck professional driver.
