    Quick history lesson, Swift headman Jerry Moyes used to haul steel on flatbed. Swift has always had a flatbed division, and yes, Werner had some serious flatbed history.

    There are good flatbed drivers from Swft, but after they let the equipment go, a lot of us left. Now hear tell they're trying to rebuild it. If they haven't reinstated the mechanic pay or found a way other than warranty to get aluminum welding done, those new trailers will be trash in no time. That was the problem to begin with, they were letting the equipment go and no one wanted to have a bad CSA score because of Swift's shoddy maintenance.

    Oh and I'm at the Flying J in Ardmore, OK after getting a load of railroad side frames from Houston to Longview, now I'm hauling some HVAC equipment headed for Williston, ND. Pics tomorrow maybe.

    Trust me, I'm ashamed I don't have enough, I'm getting 6 coils so I'm assuming I need 2 for each, I have 5

    had a guy tip a snow plow end over end off one side of my trailer to the other today, this was the end result, the guy that did it tried to deny it, but his boss was cool about it and offered to pay for it

    Anyways I'm in Gardner, IL gonna unload these 5 bodies, go find some coil racks and load going to Toledo, then reload outta OH with a bunch of stops in Georgia
