    After returning to driving after a 3 year break, I am nearing that phase in a swift drivers life where I am starting to become ashamed of the company, my fellow drivers, and myself for staying this long while getting treated like scum. I can't take it her anymore and sometimes find myself thinking about strangling my kindergarten teacher...i mean "dm" to death or dragging with and parking my truck on top of his nice little prius, in the middle of the ghetto, about a block away from the Memphis terminal and let the crack dealers do their thing. I live not far from Smyrna and like the details of the Nissan account a lot. I hear good things about Averitt from all the OTRs I talk to, but haven't heard anything from the Nissan boys.... If any of you guys are out there, can you give me the lowdown please?

    I don't know anything about the Nissan account out of Smyrna, however I can relate to your frustrations with Swift. Even if you come on as a regional driver you will LOVE it. I have always been treated with a great amount of respect by everyone I talk to. I used to HATE talking to anyone in a Swift shop. I have only had one guy be a smart ##### to me at an Averitt shop but he was really stressed at the time.

    My Fleet Manager calls me about once a month just to make sure I am happy and ask what he can do to make my life on the road better. Home every weekend sure is nice as well.

    Trying to get my pilots license so the more home time the better. I'm also thinking about going to knight, and I know its just a bad as Swift, but at least I could work 7 on, 7 off and make as much as I am now. Have a good friend that does that and works some while he's home pulling nestle water to their terminal and gets hourly pay for that.

    Lets bring this thread back from the dead. I know somebody that worked for FedEx and he pulled out of the Saturn plant in Columbia,TN every night. He made a decent living but he had to quit due to heart attack. If I'm not mistaking, the old Saturn plant now makes Nissan's don't they?
