    I've heard stuff about Swift, are they known for having bad drivers/ being a bad company in general? I'm not familiar with the truck company canon

    mom and pop truckstops when I can.......the bigs when I can't.
    You're right, rest areas are lots cleaner and usually quieter.......only problem is, getting out after all the midnight riders come in and block the place up

    When I was OTR it always seemed easier to find a parking spot at a rest area than a truck stop. I had a microwave so I kept a gallon jug of tapwater, some soap, washcloth, towel and a plastic bucket and could have a hot "sleeper bath" whenever I wanted it.

    They don't have a Facebook page calls "Swift best in crash" for nothing. They are one of the largest companies out here and being so they have a large amount of drivers committing very ridiculous mistakes

    Actually a Good video to post....See this far too often.
    Reminds me of dumb four wheelers that cant park right at the supermarket

    Lay on the horn- No movement- Start Knockin on doors- Wake em up-Then nicely ask them to pull in right.

    Scottie-Your too Nice
