    Alright, I did a search of ripoffreport, just to test your theories. What was the theory again? Let me remind all you dreamers:

    SwiftQuit is now off the public board. Their founding father has recently repurchased the public stock in the outfit. Swifty is around, say, 6 times the size of a company like Crete Carrier, another private outfit. This would, according to you guys who are floating around on SwiftCo's puffy clouds, mean SwiftyRip should have about 6 times the reports on ripoffreport, a site where no one but whiners and axe grinders post, according to you.

    Know that I didn't really have to go to ripoff to sink your ships, but I went and checked 'em anyway. I checked Crete, too.

    The tally? Check for yourself. Go ahead. SwiftCo has so many reports it has its own link on that site. You don't even have to enter the name.

    Too-da-Loo, boys.

    Had to be my first bosses Brother.That ol man bought new trucks kept them up if a bumper got bent put on a new one.We drove day and night non stop.He wanted drivers to warm it up,cool it down no trying to pull a wheely like some do.And you had better release the brakes before you put it in gear.He allways told us to put more weight on the truck than the trailer tandems.His words truck will carry the load easer than it will drag it and he was right,but we didnt cross scales not with 30,000 feet of 3x8 green hardwood.

    LOL...I've worked for and ran with a lot of those guys.In my opinion these CDL mill guys couldn't stand on a ladder and touch those old guys butts.

    The old old goofball I'm working with now is the same way....You pull up at his place and just shut er down and he would have a high speed come apart and that includes diesel pickups.When I first met him I owned a powerstroke Ford and came tooling up his driveway,shut it off and walked up to where he was sitting down on the porch swing."That a diesel" he said, and before I could answer ,he informed me that I should have let her idle for a bit before I shut it off to"Cool her down" and the next thing he said as he looked me up and down was "You sure you've drove a truck before" which pissed me a little bit and he's kind of a portly gentleman, so I said"As sure of that as I'm sure YOU never pushed away from a buffet table first"...We been best friends since.:biggrin_25525:

    O yes mine could be a real a--- hole at times.but at times not.Remember one time I bent another drivers bumper scraped his fender Went told him it was my fault he flat out said no it wasnt he was parked in your way and the other driver was sitting there.I did stop him from riding with me .We was headed to the yard one rainy nite come to intersection he said watch that car it might run the stop sign.I said if he does I will take him out.Next day drivers told me the old man said he would never ride with me again said I was a crazy S.O.B. Luv it when a plan comes togather:biggrin_25514::biggrin_25514:

    Well lets see Crete Carrier Corp has around 5400 and Swift has around 14500
    so the 6 times is a little much . Now I am going to ask you again Out of the reports how many are stating the facts and not embellishing there story to make it look like the had no fault at all. Again are you telling us if they are on that site they are all true ?

    instead of all the complaining and blog aftet blog of how these super carriers suck and why..... just stop driving for them. How hard is this? I have been out here awhile and have never turned a key for JB, Swift, Schnieder, Crete. Werner, USA truck, US express, pretty much any big company. They are what is wrong with this whole industry and instead of doing anything about it, we just spend time on here bashing them. And anyone who drives for them, and gets in front of a news camera( AND I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD THESE IDIOTS, BOTH ON TV AND THE RADIO) and swear they are making all kinds of money and get good home time and are treated with respect, blah, blah, blah...are doing as much damage as them big carriers. We are never gonna wake up, we are never gonna change anything. So why try? And if it was so dang bad, why did you climb behind the wheel for'em in the first place?
