Technically I believe Jerry Moyes (swift owner) owned a little piece of that company. I believe one of his cousins was running the show. Both of their headquartes are in the Phoenix area.

 

Well my weekend has been planned out accordingly. Pick up in Tennessee and take it out to Indy. After that pick up near Frankfort and take it out to PA. Another good week from a company that seems to have there ducks in a row. Ill be having easter dinner with some folks in the Scranton area.

 

Oooo ahhh swift got knighted?

Fancy.

Hello Sir Swifty ! Top of the mornin to ya laddy!!!

I got caught behind a turtle race with a swift yesterday for a good 5 miles. I got in front of them and slowed down to 55 xD

Knight drivers will have to be retrained to learn how to park by sound

 

On the yellow slashy things.

It must be in the handbook or somin.

Get in FL and my coolant light starts going off ..I stop ,get out and check it ..It's full to the max line ... Great !! Nursed it down to Tampa to get unloaded at 2pm on Good Friday ..( not to good to me !!)

KW in Tampa and ask the aweful question .... Can you look at my truck on a Friday afternoon before Easter weekend??? Sure bring it right in ...I'm thinking ok this dude is FULL of it ...They will get around to it at midnight ... So I go in check with service ..He goes ...Oh that must of been dayshift you talked to... Sigh
