    With central transport you only need 6 months experience for p and d driver. if i was the swift driver i would not want to down grade to central transport. everybody situation is different just because you can stay out 2 week are more doesn't mean the next guy can

    thats the Anti-Pam device keeps out the idiots, if you dont hit the hole just right ( :biggrin_25523: ) you aint goin no where.

    They fixed the crator in front of the shop, but its starting to make pot holes again. The ones in front of the enterance get bigger every day. My fav though is the 3 foot deep hole across from our enterance pam drivers ALWAYS drop a steer in it when they go to leave :biggrin_2559:

    It don't matter if they hiring or not they still will hire for p&d driver at 6 months experience. I know a swift driver that home everyday drive a 2012 volvo day cab bring home 1000+ a week.

    Well that anti-pam device most be broken cause it sure doesn't keep the idiots out.
    Don't remember the 3 foot hole but since i never dropped a steer in it i wouldn't remember it.
