    I've been driving between Phoenix and SoCal almost daily for the past 5 months and it occured to me that I haven't seen a single Swift day-cab in that time. I see plenty of Swift sleeper trucks but no day-cabs.

    Anybody know why Knight er I mean Swift stopped running the shuttle?

    Drove for Swift for 14 months across '06 and '07. I was out of Fontana and tried to get on with one of those, but denied. Fast forward to now and I still see at least 3-4 Swift daycabs parked at the Vega TX Allsups at 2am when I'm coming or going from running my 2-3 tankers on my own dedicated trip between Hartley and Denver metro. They seem to be running strong between the ABQ and what I think is the OKC terminal(40 freeway runs, so).

    But still kind of weird to hear the SoCal-AZ shuttle no longer doing anything all of a sudden.

    My thoughts exactly! And it not all of a sudden, I litterally haven't seen a Swift shuttle since I started this gig in Oct 2020.

    Notice an increase of Knight day cabs, per chance.

    The shuttle got stuck on a farm.

    IDK, I'm frequently at the Jurupa Valley terminal and see tons of day cabs there. Also, there's a DHL shipper in Rancho Cucamonga that I commonly pick up loads from. I often see Swift day cabs there. And, running in the West, it isn't uncommon to see a day cab at a terminal or on the road. So, unsure why you keep missing them. In my experience, they are definitely out there running around.

    What I'm saying is that I have not seen a single day-cab running between Phoenix and SoCal. I don't see them parked @ Desert Center either.
