    Usually the case but I have known some idiots who are wealthy, you only need to know your job but dont have to be smart everywhere else.

    Just in case anyone was really wondering... Swift made $1.10 per share on 140.66 million shares. The company in its entirety covered 1.6 billlion miles netting it's investors a cool 10.3408 cents per mile. That is after paying every back office employee and the egregiously outragous salaries for their executives.


    Oh yeah, this was for 2013 :p sorry...

    the number is higher than 16k trucks these days, think its around 18k now if im not mistaken and I think maybe 22k drivers I heard

    Swift isnt the largest trucking company being stupid, good luck trying to take them out of business, they would just laugh at a 10 truck company trying to compete since there are plenty of customers for them to underbid on.

    If I was making that kind of money, I would work 2 years then retire. If I could stand it for that long. I could live for over 100 years on that. And that does not even count the interest you can make.
