Oh crap! Does SWIFT make you go into the city and deliver. OH, I SO HOPE NOT! What a nightmare. Did you know that they have some real strict laws going on up there. One is a new smoking ordinance.![]()
New york city!

Yeap they have loads going there.
lunaglow Thanks this. -
In the city!? With a big truck? Do you have to take it if you do not want to?
-
Swift is not forced dispatch.
lunaglow Thanks this. -
Ok that is great! I was really hoping they where not forced dispatch. I was hoping we had some say on where we went. NYC makes me a crazy person. DON'T LIKE IT!

That being said, if you refuse loads a lot, you will not make money. I have seen drivers, especially owner/operators, refuse load after load, because they use Swift as a travel agency rather than a way to make money.
Eventually, the planner will stop planning the truck because they know they driver will just refuse the load.
That being said, I have also seen o/o's that will do anything or go anywhere, because they are doing this job to make money. I have a short list of drivers that have given me their word they will be there if I need them. Three drivers. And they are all o/o's.
So if you dont like NYC, thats fine. I dont either, and I did go there once. But I would go anywhere else.lunaglow Thanks this. -
Company drivers are allowed to refuse loads only after consulting with their DMs.
lunaglow Thanks this. -
Lol
What are you scared of.
I have never been stopped for smoking in my truck up there.
It's not that bad if YOU properly PLAN your trip. -
I don't mind driving thru, but delivering anywhere in the NYC-Newark area is definitely a no go for me. Be happy to get it close and t-call or swap it with someone that knows the area, but this Redneck ain't stopping in there!
lunaglow Thanks this. -
