    So I log in to the Swift website to see if next weeks paycheck was posted yet.
    Nope.

    But, there was a statement dated 12/09/11.

    ??? We don't get paid on the 9th.

    I just got $400 vacation pay, just in time for next weeks home time in Denver with my girls. Now I can afford to get them some nice Christmas presents and take them to the aquarium.

    I didn't realize Swift worked it that way, but it sure is a nice surprise.


    Plus, I have now been with Swift for 1 year. :bom:

    Exactly my reaction when I got mine a few months ago..
    'What is this extra deposit? Sweet!'

    And oh, guess you need to update your profile to 1 yr trucker,
    Congrats!

    Now if only we could take the days off too.....

    Speaking of vaction pay/time...

    Is it 5 days and how can one take those days off?

    Take all 5 at once, clean out the truck - d'oh!

    How about 1 or 2 days at a time here and there
    until they are used up?
    Or is it 'all or nothing' ?

    'Vacation time' is just another way of saying home time.

    Either way, no miles are being run.
    Either way, the same rules apply.

    I think since he bragged about it, he should share it with everybody. Better yet, just post your home address and we'll all show up for the par-TAY!! :biggrin_25522:
