Swift transition is making me crazy

I am still here in this dam shop to this sucks , but hey that trucking !!!!!
Guys do me a favor and its probably none of you on here . If you have a problem with a trailer let someone know don't pawn it off on the next guy . Please !!!!!! ( that was not a compliant , just asking for help ) I know we all get busy , ( well not me anyways . Lol )

Thank god I have til tomorrow at midnight to get to denver.

Oh and my miles are getting a little better , once I drop this I should have about 201300 give or take a few . Thats alot better then 1200 two weeks ago.
I did have a little talk with someone tho.

Maybe they are getting me a terminal so they can take the truck back . Lol
no my conversation wasn't that bad . And I didn't act like a ### hole either I was very calm ... hard to believe huh ?

 

I'm glad things are turning around for you. Swift is worth giving a shot. I'm not saying drive with them til you retire but give it a chance before you make a decision. I'm not even planning on driving for them for more than a year, mostly because I want to be home every day. But who knows the way I've been treated so far I might consider staying a while longer.

p.s. I'm assuming you meant 2,013 miles. If you got over 200,000 miles then I would say your miles are definitely getting better

 

No . Lol. Its about 2300.

Every since my phone had the latest android update . It has a mind of its own , and I don't always catch when it messes up.


That would be a awesome paycheck tho huh . Hahahahaha

 

We will be in Denver tomorrow afternoonish... We'll wave not planning on going to the terminal if we can help it, although life sometime makes other designs for us

 

Denver is a terminal that I always try to avoid, yet always seem to end up there.
I guess because when I take home time to see my girls I usually have an mt to drop there.

My last time there soured me even more.
I went in with a bad thermostat and spent 2 days in shop status, then another day waiting for a load out.
In the end they replaced the coolant reservoir, but not the thermostat - even though they told me they did replace it.

A week later and I am in your Central shop in Salt Lake to get the thermostat replaced.
It's under warranty so they are having the Cummins guy do the work, and hopefully it should be finished tomorrow.

The people in this shop are very helpful.
He checked out my truck as we were talking, even lubing some stuff like the side cover hinges.

I've been totally impressed by everything Central that I've come across.
Good job, people!

In my opinion you all are a welcome addition, and will make Swift a better company.

(It's actually sad that Swift bought you out, instead of the other way around.)

 

Where in denver you guys gonna be ?

I have a midnight appointment , I really hate late night appointments . Lol
I have that dam video I have to watch . I hope they don't tell me to go there .if they do I am gonna tell them to send me to SLC so I can talk to the leasing dept. .. not really but that's my story and I am sticking to it . Lmfao

 

Hey everyone!

I turned my truck into the Lancaster TX terminal on Monday. Went into the drivers lounge area and couldnt tell if it was a drivers lounge or a homeless shelter. Also, I wanted to scan my documents on their kiosks but both kiosks were down.

After I picked up my load to the house on Friday morning, I called my DM to tell him I was turning in my truck and he figured that's what I was doing. Apparently when a another company checks you DAC report, the DAC will show that so and so company checked your DAC. Also your DMs get your DAC everyday. So when they see so and so checked your DAC it is assumed that you put in an application with that company. So my DM had an idea that I was about to leave about a week ago. he said he was annoyed that I was leaving but I told him that I wasnt happy with the situation.

Good luck to you CRS drivers who are sticking it out. I hope everything gets back to normal and you're making good money again!

I start with a new company on Monday. wish me luck!

 

Hmmmm /\ I wonder if this is why my miles picked up ?

Just a thought . But then again , I can look all I want its a free country right ?


Oh and good luck , hope all works out for you.

 

I've been told there are more loads to move than drivers available do to the massive desertion after the swift merger. My friend has been running what are normally dedicated routes and is pulling over 3k miles a week right now. My dm has kept me rolling, mostly toward snow storms, but at least I've been rolling. I'm finally starting to see some decent paydays! But today I had to put my rig in the shop for a minor air leak issue, in Jonestown PA Swift terminal, other than today, I haven't been sitting still long.

 

Well that's good , I kinda wonder if they seen that those 2 place I applied checked .
well the one company is local so they really don't care about DAC for some reason.
as long as I keep on the run , I will stick it out , but I can't have anymore 800 mile weeks .

And dam it , I am gonna catch hell I haven't watched that video yet , but I haven't had time ..
