In my short time on the road, I always found the most attractive ladies to be at the mom and pop stops.
Well I had to report it, because I was in a Swift yard right in front of the shop with at least 10 people getting their jollies from watching me...
Okay, so last spring I had a stint with Swift as a trainee. I went through their school, did very well and got my Class A. I was out on the road...
Man I would really try to find an alternative to Tylenol. That stuff will kill you. Literally, it will destroy your liver. There's drawbacks to...
Well I mostly only know what other drivers tell me, and I haven't heard that from anyone. Then again, most of the drivers I talk to are Swift...
The thing is, those companies don't have to care. It makes no difference to them if new drivers leave. In fact, they welcome it. They don't have...
It's wage slavery. Most of us are wage slaves. It's really just another sneaky form of oppression and control, but that's a whole different topic...
Through your logic you're essentially arguing that any person who has an obligation to their employer in order to get paid for the amount of work...
The general advice I seem to see over and over again is just apply apply apply. I think that's about all you can do. Apply everywhere until...

Yeah, I learned the big GOAL lesson the hard way. I guess if you're stubborn you'll pay for it real fast.
By the way, not related to the original question, but now because of this I'm completely scared of truck stop parking. That's going to be my...
I think part of the problem is that as soon as I say "accident" they just turn me down right there and don't even get to the part where they run...
I was let go after finishing up with my mentor because during that period the back of my trailer made contact with another parked trailer at a...
That almost sounds like someone else's record got merged with yours. Does that even happen? That's very strange. I know there is a court process I...
Get a notebook and some kind of binder or folder. You'll get some handouts and things you'll need to keep and study.
I finished Swift training back in April in Lewiston. I found all the instructors to be very good and take their jobs very seriously. However,...
I didn't say taking nyquil and then immediately driving. That stuff can leave you fuzzy the whole next day, especially if you take more than the...
