Diary of a current Swifty

Every now and then I get a PM from a member who's read this and wonders if I'm still with Swift and how I'm doing. So I'll update. Yes, I still drive for Swift (just had my 4yr anniversary) and I'm still getting good miles. I got rid of the Prostar that was giving me so many problems. Some other driver's got it to deal with now.

 

Well, this will be my last night in a Swift truck. It's been quite a ride, all the ups and downs that I would have had with any company, especially thru my early years as a trucker. But I made the decision to move on and leave Swift. They are on a path that doesn't suit me, so it's time to part ways. With any luck, I'll find a company more in tune with my work style.

I'm not down on Swift. I still think they are a fine company to work for, especially for students and newbies. I came here with 7 months experience- still quite green. They did the job of polishing me up and helping me shine.

OK, that sounds really corny, but you get my point. I am grateful for the opportunity I was given here. I do feel, however, it's time to go.

So I close this diary (after bringing it back to life for one last post.)

 

Perhaps I will. Though there are already many on the company I hope to be working for next week.
