[quote=Texas-Nana;942607]Hey Nana -
First, please don't even suggest I'm a damn TX cowboy - not in this lifetime

Second - it was not I who asked about the typo. Why, that was your good friend otherhalf!

Just to get the facts straight.

It's fun just sitting back watching all the enthusiastic Swifties, soon, no doubt, to be former Swifties. The numbers are WAY against you.

Suggestion? Keep the DAC clean, although from what I've seen and heard, having a clean DAC working for Swift is virtually an impossibility. You might want to have resumes out there.

You obviously think I am stupid, and did not do any research about Swift! I have read all the posts, blogs, and sites that complain about Swift. I have also talked to a lot of drivers that are still with swift, or moved on after completing the contract to pay for school. I probably know more about Swift than most students that sign this contract. I also know that I will be successful here just as I have been in other endeavors.

Yes, they even tell us in school on day 1 when we sign the contract that there is NO guarantee of employment with Swift. This is because you can't get a job as a Swift driver if you can't get your cdl.

Your experience with Swift is different than mine. As has been stated several times in this post, when you went to school freight was down. That is why you were on a list of 87 drivers. This time of year freight is up for Swift, and will get better in the coming months.

As with all the other students of swift's academy, when I get my cdl, I will be offered a job.

Actually it was I who asked Otherhalf. Just to keep facts straight. As for suggesting you're a Texas cowboy........sorry but I didn't.

Until now, I've never been anything but kind to you and sympathetic. I've disagreed with you but always been kind and sympathetic to your situation. How sad that you find it not only impossible to move on in your own life but that you seem to have such a twisted need to attack me.

Weird. Very weird.

If the only place in your life that you can make yourself feel like a big man is on this thread on this forum.............how very sad for you I feel. Go drive your bus, be happy, have a wonderful life, make a ton of money. I hope you do ALL of those things. I pray for nothing but blessings to be showered upon you by God.

I won't be answering you directly any longer. If you make posts that I disagree with I'll address that but as for personal conversation I won't be replying to you. Any further insults by you will be forwarded to forum staff.

Oh, and forget about the offer to buy you a cup of coffee, you're a little to manic for me to be willing to meet in person.

[quote=Texas-Nana;942643]Damn.... No more sympathy? No more answers? No cup of coffee?? what a disappointment.

And as for moving ahead...I did that when I left Swift.
Just think others should proceed with as much due dilligence as possible as with Swift there are no guanrantees of anything including their own future. As has been said, it's a private company and as long as that's the case no one except Moyes will know what's really going on. That said, there are more than plenty of red flags with Swift and the industry as a whole.

Hmmmm.....never been tagged as "manic" before.

Finally, don't be concerned with the prayers. I do fine without them.

Does Swift just use there own terminals to fuel at?

no they also use other places.

When I drove for them, quite often I would fuel at the various truck stops...sometimes when I wasn't all that far away from a Swift yard. Depended on the pricing at the time. That said, it would be helpful for you to pick up all the truck stop driver cards. The points would be helpful to you down the road.

Swift company drivers fill using their com-data fuel cards, so all major truckstops except Flying J..FJ has their own (TCH card)..however some O/O have the TCH and the com-data.

[quote=Windjammer2;942659]Since you obviously have a distaste for Swift, why do you continue to monitor the Swift threads?

For some reason..maybe experience...your story of being the perfect all around nice guy driver with Swift doesn't ring true in my clock tower! You said you spoke directly to the new CEO..I am trying to figure out how you got past the secretary on the first floor. Very few do without an arranged appointment, and a whiny driver, who has nothing but negative spewing from his lips doesn't seem like the one who would manage an appointment.

Your story has been over done, excessively repeated, and somehow always ends and begins the same with every driver that tells the story of their plight with whatever company tossed them out. If you didn't do anything wrong, ever, said no off color remarks, sent no restricted language over the quall-com to your DM...why were you really let go?

Since you obviously aren't going to lay the COMPLETE story on our ears...why don't you leave the Swifties and other newbies alone...quit trying to force your bad situation into anothers good plan for a future.
