You are so right!!! My sister has been driving for 25 yrs and she works hard, only home 3 days out of 6 weeks. We truly miss her. Her name is sweet and low on the CB. My hats off to all you hard working truckers.
God Bless

Not to be rude or anything, but you sound like Swift material. Only a Swift type driver would ask if Swift is a good company, in a forum degrading Swift.

The map says it is a staa rd, the sign comes after you have any possibility of turning around. Just a way to make $$ of of tickets.

Resurrecting one I know. I agree that this is the rule rather than the exception regarding truck restricted routes. However at present day the PTC does have two signs on the pike EB before Breezewood telling trucks to stay off US-30.

I just ran 30 WB from Chambersburg to 522 this week. Fun fun... Managed to turtle pass a Boyd rig in the no trucks allowed lane w/o holding up a soul, then they all caught up with him just in time for the truck lane to end, and I laughed all the way to 522, enjoying my victory and lonesome peace.

Sine someone went a head and dug this thread up, let me point out one thing.

The map does show that US 30 from Breezewood to 522 is restricted.

Unless he was being sarcastic, you just never know.

**OpenRoadDreamer** · 05.05.2012

Doored don't let other peoples opinions make you apprehensive. I went with Swift they treated me fair paid what they said they would and kept me as busy as I wanted to be. let me make that clear they kept me as busy as I wanted to be. so many people say they want to drive, but then they only want to drive a couple of hours a day and that's not what this life is about whether OTR or Local you gotta go to make any money. not illegal , but you gotta put some miles in to make a living. Good Luck and make it fun.
