    that would be a #### fine idea those O/Os work for nothing I don't know how they stay afloat if they only knew how bad swift screws them over they might quit of there own accord

    I heard that they are paid $250 per load less than taylor. Are you saying its worse than that?



    Also whats your read on when we'll get cut off? At what price per barrel will they stop us? I figured $60, my boss says $50.

    If you can find a Swift truck with his radio on, start a rumor and maybe they will all quit.

    So far they've been OK on the driving part.



    Myriad are the complaints about late and very very late load/unload appointments.
