Diary of a current Swift flatbed driver

I'll try it again tomorrow. Thanks.

 

My 08 columbia was a little more complcated than that to get a manual regen. Had to push clutch in and something else. Up to temp was important though. Also, each time you turn the key to on, you get only one shot to get it to regen. Have to turn off and restart the process. On road does have the right combination of steps in proper order.

 

I was reading the manual and it did state engaging the clutch as well yeah. I think I didn't try to turn it off but once though. Good call on the on road, I wondered if they would be able to help. I'll use that as last resort. Appreciate the help.

 

Good meeting you today finally schmud. Good luck with getting the local thing man.

 

I'll have another trailer for you to red tag schmud, if I ever get to phoenix that is. Tire exploded on this trailer and bent the frame of the mud flap. Flattened the tire next to it too. Day before the load shifted on it. Having good luck this trip.

 

Well after 2 decades out of the drivers seat, I'm about to finish the Swift CDL course. I flatbedded for TMC years ago and wanted to do that at Swift, but appears to be a 2 month wait for a flatbed trainer at this time. Will take the week of the 28th off for a doctors appointment and return for orientation on 4 April. So if anyone knows a Flatbed trainer from the PHX terminal that would like a mature(51), stable(retired Army Major), exceptionally clean(former Drill Sgt), non-smoking trainee in April please have them call 520-981-1748. At this time I would even ride with a smoker to go flatbed. Thanks in advance for any help, Rob
