    I just saw an ad at the terminal. Swift is hiring flatbed with up to 55 cents per mile average Load 760 miles.

    does anyone know more or anything about what Swift hauls?

    Pretty much the same as TMC and Maverick. They've had some flats for several years now. Loaded next to one in 09 (I think) at that place in Peoria, IL we used to get slinkies out of.

    Swifts and Mavericks loads looks so boring tho. and their drivers look really old raggedy. Melton has nicer looking loads on their decks.

    But does swift only use 53' flat beds?

    I think a better question would be, do you know of any company that hauls a greater range of loads?

    Simple rule. If a company has "up to" in their ad run away fast.

    Would be nice if one day I could haul a big dinosaur bone from mexico to canada. Then the next time a rocket from Nevada to Alaska. Then a UFO out of Roswell to Washington that would be a good trip.

    But hauling pipes and rebar looks uneventful

    Am I asking for too much?

    What exactly are you asking? Is it if you should work for Swift?
