What I was told was QC bought the Schwerman "yard", office, and customer contract in Nashville. Frankly, before I started here I had never even heard the name Schwerman. A couple of their drivers work here now and they were union. I don't know if QC bought other Schwerman terminals or accounts. I *think* I have seen a couple of Schwerman trucks at truck stops I've been in, so I doubt Schwerman is gone, they are certainly gone from the Nashville Linder Industrial Ave location.

 

Unless you are a trained Botanist (plant expert) how can someone even be sure the plant they might have used years ago was marijuana?

 

The union really messed up that terminal; kept everyone stressed all the time.
One of the drivers there was fired for a chemical spill. He went to Carry Transit in Decatur, Alabama and died while unloading. Had a massive heart attack and fell dead beside the trailer.
I went to the hospital in Huntsville to see him, but too late. He was on life support by then with no brain function at all.

 

Good luck ! I did all the drugs I could handle as a young man , now a days a couple beers on the weekend all I can handle . Keep us updated.

 

Yeah, I have heard stories about how the union worked really well for the top few guys, but the rest of the drivers not so much.

 

Elogs put a stop to much of that. No more holding loads for the pet drivers, because Elogs don't lie.
Elogs evened the playing field for the junior drivers. Lots of sobbing and wailing, by the pet drivers, but to no avail.
They had drivers do a Houston turn with only a short couple of hour break, then grab another load heading to Phoenix or somewhere. This was on paper logs, so we really laughed when the paper logs became mandatory. One driver at another terminal crashed through a motel, killing him. A DOT audit saw what was going on and put the company on Elogs. DOT said Elogs or the whole company shuts down.

 

That's easy...you get real mellow, time slows down, you laugh endlessly at almost anything, and have this overwhelming urge to go to Taco Bell and order everything on the menu. Twice.
