M.S. Carriers

Yes they sold out to Swift.

 

I hadn't heard that......

I still see Swifty pulling MS trailers, those things must be ancient by now!

 

Yea, I see them too, I live by the PA Pike. I also see alot of the old MS Freightshakers too, but only the "Container Clowns" have them. Most of them are well over a million miles.

 

On the positive side, MS Carriers treated the driver's very well!

On the negative side - 1) I really hated running FedEx overnight freight. 2) I hated that single-seat drivers didn't get to go very far west of I-35.

It was a job that had it's good points and it's bad points. I enjoyed my time there, but I'm glad I moved on...

 

When Mike and Mrs.Starnes was going through their divorce the judge made mike sell and split 50/50

 

In the past week I have seen two MS trailers being pulled by Swift trucks on I-24 by Clarksville TN

 

I hated running the grocery warehouses too. Had some good times there though with the other drivers running down the road.

 

everybody complains, nobody does anything

 

I was a movie star and miss it very much. Was a great company to work for. I was a west coast driver on the transcon division. My last unit was 18111 miss the old school days

 

Ah yes!! A Movie Star in a 2 story cabover Freightshaker!!

Back in the days before Qualcom,Satellite,Cell phones and Electronic Logs. Back when U had to stand in line at a pay phone to call dispatch. And if you didnt call, he had no idea where you were. Ha!.

Back when, if the dispatcher wasnt giving you miles. You went into a drop/hook shipper, instead of getting that 200 mile load dispatch told you to get. You hook to a 1500 mile load and haul booty. Call him 2 days lateran tell him where you were.

Good Times !!!
