Diary of a current Swift flatbed driver

Schmud - are they accepting new CDLs (school but no experience) for flatbed out of Denver? I have a friend just graduated from CDL school and is looking for a flatbed gig.

 

You take over the equipment shop? John still over there?

 

So now having the "inside" view plus experience on the road, may we ask you questions here in public or would you prefer PM's?

 

you're doing good stuff there brother. Especially the trailers, awesome.

 

Maybe you costs Swift $1600 a week, and you would be fired for doing so. I seen your loads, you have lost lumber, complained, etc, over and over again. I know who you are and have seen you.......don't throw stones and be careful who you are trying to insult.

 

Oh my

 

Helping the cool flatbed drivers is important, but insulting other drivers is not cool. I give advice, roll lumber tarps and help other drivers from other companies, but with Swift, I think everybody knows that it's the high turnover rate in flatbed that keeps it on edge with these people.....so trying to be nice to get along does not work and it's not a normal situation....the high stress levels dictate that you stay on edge, stay paranoid and get ready for anything that could potentially threaten you, the situation or your livelihood...be ready or you will lose.

 

Darned Ignore List only works for the original post, not for Quotes. This guy really needs to find a life outside TTR. It's very hard to read his words, which almost sound like a personal threat...he's got one heck of a large chip on his shoulders against someone or something. Hopefully, one of the admins will help him, um, "adjust" his attitude.
