Hey You! Swifty! Clean your #$%#$ trailer out!

i had a trailer turned down in cottonton al. at mead inds. it had 2 loose nails in it. he turned it down, i climbed up in there and grabbed them. he told me to come back in a hour and try again. good thing that was a open window pick up time

 

Another advantage to pulling the same trailer all the time.

Drop and hooks aren't all they're cracked up to be.......

 

I really can not believe this. Swift is a very good company to work for and has an outstanding employees. I think someone else put their trash in there. Just to make Swift look bad. They only hire the best of the trucking industry.

 

I may not be sure but I remember that if the trailer was not cleaned out by the last person they charged that driver $25

 

I can tolerate the occasional dirty trailer. What I can NOT put up with is some numbnutz dropping a trailer with an obvious mechanical problem at one of our yards that has a full shop, but does not tell anyone about it, including the shop!

 

Cottonton is EXACTLY the shipper I was thinking about. Do not, do not go in there with anything less than pristine. There's one inspector there that absolutely hates Swift.

 

Surely a swifty would not do such a thing . Must have had his helmet on to tight.

 

One more reason I like the flatbeds.

 

yeah the wind sweeps mine. Sometimes though I need to take a broom to it.

Sidenote, any chance this helmet thing can be cracked down on a bit. Gotta hear it enough on the cb, be nice to not have to read it as well on this forum.
