Another One Churned and Burned at Swift

BINGO! And you just summarized one point I was going to make in less words than I could. The other is that bad drivers don't need to be on the road, and by not "dropping a dime" this turd is letting a bad driver get a chance to cause another accident before his performance can be evaluated.

 

Where do you want to base out of?

 

DSW - Digby SouthWest is owned by Jerry Moyes. Jerry Moyes owns Swift. DSW is leased to Swift.

The story goes that Jerry bought Digby dry and rolled the assets into Swift since Swift was a dry company at the time. While Digby wet, from the same family but different owners, was also in financial trouble. Good old Jerry and friend of the Digby family became silent partners in the bailout and Don continued on a figure head. DSW was a startup with a Digby nephew, or brother-in -law or some other relative of Don Digby. Jerry bankrolled the DSW startup, but the Digby involved didn't do much work to come up with the freight outside of Swift. So DSW became a contractor associated with Swift, with Jerry taking over all the assets. Kind of like Jerry did with Central LTL, Central refrigerated, and Dick Simon.

I don't know but maybe the fence the OP toke out in Tuscon was at DSW/Swift terminal. The DSW terminal is run by Swift, staffed by Swift, and filled with Swift equipment.

 

Ok I'll give it you that is some work. As always there are exceptions to the rule. I should not have been so broad with my statement.

I'm probably a little synical.

I constantly read on this site how guys say flatbed is hard work. Makes me laugh. Now we have someone saying driving for Swift is hard work.

 

I get mad, The driver should be held responsible for ordering, manufacturing, loading, logistics, unloading and placed onto the shelf... Instead, they are out lolly gagging and sleeping on the job.

Oh wait. thats what the public really thinks.

 

they are a lazy bunch of bastachits

 

I'm not a turd!
I just don't get it; drivers ratting each other out. I've been at this a long time and have learned the most trust can be placed on drivers that are ex-cons and military vets. Not to take away anything from those that aren't in those categories that also have good character because many of those are driving also. I've just learned to be more relaxed around ex-cons and military vets when the going gets rough. They don't sweat the small stuff and will cover you.
