    According to FMCSA, Swift has 16,048 Power Units, and 17,812 drivers
    Hmmm...what are the extra 1,764 drivers doing? I suspect teams?
    Hate to go with Swift and then have to sit due to not enough equipment. I am sure the Swift drivers here, will set these figures straight.

    Hmm probably teams I'm guessing. My terminal is desperate for teams but I understand the pay works out to exactly the same as solo pay. Why do I want to squeeze another guy into my truck with all his gear so we can run really hard and take showers every other 7th day and try to sleep in a bouncy truck-- for the same pay as I'm making right now???
