    So I may as well ask this while I am sitting here and can't sleep .

    What's Shifts policy about a log violation ?

    Central really didn't say anything unless you were a frequent flyer .

    Lol I stayed there one night. You can also feel the train shake the ground a little as it passes. I think I woke up only once during the night, was pretty tired.

    I don't really know.

    I've been over by several minutes, either on driving time or my 14, only a couple times.
    I'll make a remark that I had to find a safe haven, and I've never heard anything after.

    If it happens too often I'm sure you will hear something.

    BTW, Central drivers still have to be under Central DMs which will be located in West Valley, UT. Loma Linda, CA (@Swift) Pasco, WA, Rochelle, IL and Decatur, GA (@Swift). Dont know if you guys had heard but they're closing the Conley and Fontana terminals moving to the near by Swift terminals at the end of the month.

    Took a 30 minute break in Conley today and dear gawd a ton of unseated trucks are there. I guess alot of people are leaving. My DM told me that quite a few of his drivers have quit as well.

    I should know tomorrow from a prospective employer as to whether or not they're going hire! Hope so, considering I would get a substantial raise!
     
    tangerineGT and Lady K Thank this.

    Well, hopefully some of you will stick with Swift for a while.
    It's not as bad as it seems right now.

    I think that those that stick around will have better luck than with this botched transition.

    I hope so, anyway.

    We will see tomorrow when I pull into the terminal to drop my empty trailer.

    Maybe ill just pull in full speed (all 62 mph ) and put it right through the front of the building . Lol
    oh wait this isn't Sick Simon. :laughing-guffaw::laughing-guffaw::laughing-guffaw::laughing-guffaw::laughing-guffaw:

    Don't forget to spin it 90 degrees and slide to 3 feet in front of the building!

    That finishing touch makes all the difference.
