    I wonder if we could get onto swift dedicated accts as Central drivers ?
    sounds like a question I may pose to some higher authority's. Lol
    freightliner flatbed dedicated would be kinda cool . Hauling sprinter vans ...
     
    Lady K Thanks this.

    I know back about a month ago, I checked fuel prices and it was .15pg cheaper at the Pilot in Aurora than at the Denver terminal. Even now it seams to cost a little more at the terminals.
    But that is with the fuel plan that we had with Central...

    I have been told by the o/o department, that even it we were to lease another truck, we will be under the same contract and pay scale. So we would sign a new lease but not a new contract.
    This came up when I told them that my lease was ending and I wanted a copy of the Swift contracts to read. I never did get a copy of the Swift Truck lease either.

    There is one sitting in rochelle too that i thought about playing with....
    Ive backed a 48' 4 axle before, but i had the axle on the far back lifted along with the front 2, so just one axle was on the ground, the thing turned so easy with having only one axle on the ground.

    And youll have to for sure fill us in if you find out if we can run swift dedicated accounts, im pretty set where im at, but you never know. swift has some interesting accounts/runs.
