Anyone else, Dead on the West Coast?

Well atleast you can joke about it. That right there is probably the reason. Way too many trucks. Especially in CA. Isn't your main terminal outside Ontario?

 

Hang in there and get the experience you need to move up and onward.

 

If its a newer emissions truck you are supposed to ignore the engine light! Kind of jealous to hear that someone actually got one without the engine light on! :/

 

A buddy of mine and his wife (team) had a little problem with slow freight just after the 4th, but are coming back strong now.
By looking at the daytime traffic in town Im thinking a lot of folks are taking vacation time this month too.
Don't let the swift truck ribbing get to you, before Swift there was JB Hunt, Then Schneider...
I think all of our drivers are pretty good, but it seems like a lot of the great drivers in this world are also very abrasive, and without customers we have no jobs!
Make the best of your slow time, it wont last!

 

You go where your customer's product is every week!

 

On another post you just turned down a load in favor of sitting 7 more hours for a 34 hour reset?

I was just going to add as well, even as a company driver you are not handcuffed to the truck's last parking location. If you judged that there doesn't seem to be a load forthcoming due to the weekend, you could just get up and pretrip your equipment and move over to a truck stop for showers and entertainment, Swift would not say anything.
