You driver have no character .

I agree. There are families and CHILDREN who would be without an income. I don't wish that on anyone, especially my own children.

I remember the Mira Loma, Ca crew where told at their company picnic at Knotts Berry Farm. They where then told to have fun? I know a few of their drivers are now driving for Swift. Also the Mira Loma terminal is now a Swift terminal.

How long did you drive for them? I am a driver, I dont call .41 a mile chump change, but if thats your assessment of it then OK by me. What crap would it be that I am eating as you call it, please provide details as you have certainly painted all of this with a very broad brush.

Everyone has to have an angle to tell the truth? Or if you dont like the way someone is relating something they are telling a windy?

I am not a hand who says he has near 20 years in, I AM a hand with near 20 years in. What does a Swift recruiter look like according to you?

I am waiting for your answers.

Look...You mouthed me first...go back and read it for yourself.I never mentioned you by name nor do I have a clue if you even work for Swift and more to it,I couldn't care less if I tried.If you wanna drop it,thats fine by me.If you want to start a pissing contest with your mouth,that is cool with me too.My suggestion to you would be to take my offer to drop it because with your low number of postings you won't get much of a warning before one of the mods drops the hammer on you for 7 days for being a troublemaker.I've got the 7 day vacation for being one and I ain't really looking for another one.I'm NOT waiting for your answer so go ahead and scratch your itch however you want to.

The young Swift drivers are good guys. I feel bad for them sometimes (until one backs into me).

They say they get good miles and they get paid on time. The more experienced Swift driver claims that the loads are going to the newer drivers so they aren't getting the miles anymore. They say it is cheaper to give the load to a driver making .26 cpm than a driver making .40+ cpm. Heard that somewhere before.

I went to Swift orientation once upon a time. Around 2:00 in the afternoon there was no food in sight, and I got tired of these former drivers that were running the show telling us that we would be lucky to get hire. This is about the time they decided to inform us that we don't get paid for orientation. I guess I didn't feel lucky that day because I left and went and bought me a burger, then I went home. One of the best move I ever made.

IH, let me tell you something. You don't have to satisfy anyone but yourself. You know your truth, what some other person on an internet board thinks about you means nothing. Mule doesnt apologize for his opinions, but he doesn't ask for apologies either. He will give his honest opinion, and you can give him yours. You aren't going to change his mind, and there really isn't any reason to. But, I have had fun tossing back and forth with him myself

Ive read a few of your post here's some advice quit trying to be a "cool kid" and start worrying about your own driving has your still a newbie so poking at others just makes you look like a suck up who's posing for the bigger kids while hoping that it will stop them from turning on you.

D@mn, Mule, we can't let that happen. Don't worry, we will disagree soon, I promise. It is alot better popping off to you and politically moderate and the bunch than it is popping off to the red head, cause she is meaner, and since she is right here if I get her really mad she can smack me. You and me toss it around, only the poor keyboard gets hurt.

LAWD,LAWD....I been married to a couple of redheads and went out with WAY more of them than any sane man ever would..I actually for a while knew every one of them in two counties,if they were married or single and if they were married,how happily they were married..I'm much better now tho'..You are right...DO NOT MOUTH HER AND THEN GO TO SLEEP IN THE SAME HOUSE OR EVEN A LOCATION THAT SHE HAS ACCESS TO.

Kiss butt and smile is my advice to you and then run outside and cuss the garage wall real good where she can't hear you.
