    Yep my tarps were frozen, was like wrestling a bear to get them unfolded. . Was snowing the whole time too , 20 degrees. Definatly marking that one up to the toughest tarp job of the year.

    A co worker and myself were joking around today about going to work for Swift or CRE... We come up with a challenge...

    How fast can you get fired from Swift or CRE...

    RULES
    1) Cannot get in a wreck or run over anything.
    2) Cannot violate HOS rules.
    3) Cannot commit a crime or traffic violation.
    4) Must must break company policy in a legal manner at every opportunity.

    How fast do you think one could get fired following these rules??? I'm thinking 1 to 2 weeks if one were to try hard enough.

    Speaking from experience working for swift . It wouldnt be hard at all to get fired for doing something legal but against company policy. 1 to 2 weeks id say is definatly do able.

    Took me 9 months at Hunt to be put on "Do Not Dispatch". Cause I refused to go to their clinic for a DOT physical after I had already gone to an FMCSA approved one up the street, on my time, paid for it, and submitted it to the state.
