    Well with what a lot of Swift drivers are paid to the comparison of what Wal-Mart drivers are paid, Money.

    Sure do and in case you are wondering I am in the fitter side as I am a natural gas distribution hand. So I don't mess with sanitary sewer or copper or any residential for that matter except for repiping gas meters when we run a new main and services in a neighborhood. Also my butt crack aint hanging out. Now do you now how to make a truck driver?....................................Hit a man over the head with a pipe wrench.

    They are all snitchy #####es.
    Get called into the office--

    We heard you didn't have your 4 ways on while driving inside the distribution center...

    We have reports you got out of your truck face first...

    Your dog pooped 3 turds and you only picked up 2 turds...

    You approached the security gate with your headlights off...

    You parked your reefer with only 3/4 tank...

    We have reports that you were parked at Target doing some shopping...

    you have no idea the truth you just spoke there.

    I personally saw it happen more than once during the time I was there in the DC in a management capacity. I can't speak from the driver's perspective but from the grunts in the DC doing the work. it was a big deal if you didn't bleed blue and white and shopped anywhere else other than their stores.....and tattletales were rewarded for their ### kissing

    Anyone that gets bullied is just a Sally, and probably deserves it.

    37 years OTR, last 14 at WalMart. I love reading these posts from people who have no idea what they're talking about.
