    You assume much. I was asked to read the thread and comment if you were being rude or not.

    Keep your opinion....in fact, please call the CEO of Swift and tell him to change the division name as you don't think it's heavy enough. LOL

    Seriously.........you have a problem and it isn't me. This is absurd and I won't take part in your absurdity any longer.

    My bad. I thought you were the HH expert. Are you the rudeness expert?

    Heavy Dude, it's great that you are standing by your opinion. However let's look at the facts here.

    Fact One: This thread is about Swifts Heavy Haul division, which from my understanding (and as Palazon has stated) carries loads up to 105,000 lbs, more than the standard 80,000 lbs that most of us are limited to.

    Fact Two: You posted on this thread, bursting bubbles, that this is not Heavy Haul.

    Fact Three: you have been asked several times to clarify your position, yet so far you have refused to do so. It's simple, man. If you haul more than 105,000 lbs on a regular basis, let us know. Back up your claims. If you wanna call someone out, you better put up or shut up.

    Fact Four: Also realize that, even if you regularly haul heavier loads, as Palazon and and Nana have stated, this is Swifts division and is what they choose to name it. If you haul heavier loads, great. That really has nothing to do with Swift and their division.

    Sorry to burst your bubble.

    I understand that someone in Swift has named it "Heavy Haul." That in no way makes it true than if they said we pay the best. As I first posted: Your pulling a set of Doubles that just happens to be over 80k. Fact: This division is working under the 105,500 lbs. law not under the laws that govern HH. Sounds like alot of bubbles were burst.

    Ummmm, where exactly did I state that it was TWO trailers? This is a single 53' trailer, three 4 wheeled axles and one 2 wheeled drop axle and non adjustable tandems OR a 3 axled reefer with adjustable tandems. I DID specifically state that "Doubles requires 6 months experience". Doubles is a sub-division of the HH and gets a .04/mile. Personally, I'd hate the idea of pulling "wiggle wagons". Please understand that I welcome the opportunity to correct your misconception, now that you have explained yourself clearly. After reading your clarification, I now see what PART of your original statement was. However, the rest still seems little more than deliberately inflammatory.

    As far as bursting bubbles.... don't be silly, sir. No one has the power to burst my bubbles but me. I am the master of my fate and psychological well being, not some faceless being on the web. If I were that weak, I'd have died out long ago.

    Oh and Nana? Someone transferring into the division with experience would need a class explaining the 105,500 rules and emphasizing the weight differences for breaking and such. No mentoring time needed.
