Diary of a current Swift flatbed driver

hahahaa you get used to the flavor, all big companies are #### to some aspect just different flavors, my biggest gripe besides miles is allways getting messages about if you do this.....or that ....you will get written up ect..it gets olds every day.

 

I just had to turn a 2000 mile run down, they allways happen when im ready to head on home, but on the defense of the company i just got a preplan to start workin me back to be on time for my home time!!

 

i try to stay out around 2 months at a time, the coils they use for mostly manufacturing automobiles, the coils are sheet metal just lots of it tightly round and they roll easy.
i rolled one sitting on the concrete in indiana, it did not take much effort i rolled it a couple inches and stopped it.
Side note, i thought i was running crappy this week, i ran 2918 miles from monday to today, gonna get on down the road in a few hours to fontana, i call it "fontucky"
Their is a guy who runs a base station cb on illegal wattage out their, he does nothing but harass truck drivers, i like to get him going by telling him he lives in "Fontucky" it usually is good for about a half hour chuckle in traffic

 

i would love to be an o/o or even a lease operator, but i dont feel i have the experience yet to do either, i have almost 1 yr experience now. IMHO i think i know just enought to get me in trouble, if i was you i would stick with notarps4me reccommendation, i think he hit the nail on the head
