<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dwayne, post: 408946, member: 16642&quot;]Well I don&#039;t even know where to begin, to really sum it up I&#039;d put these guys up there as another money hungry large carrier, after we all know money is number one not driver safety right? Theres been many times I&#039;ve almost passed out behind the wheel from fatigue and I&#039;m not talking because I&#039;ve missed a nap or something like that but because I just turned 1000 mile in a day and I&#039;m turning around and doing it again after I unload one example of this is they had me deadhead back to the Allenton, WI yard from Tipp City, OH (425 mile) after 3 grocery warehouse stops throughout southern Ohio (Wal-Mart, Meijer, &amp; Sysco) after I got to the yard it was a quick drop and hook and onto Green Bay, WI (100 mile) (Packerland Beef) for another drop and hook and a straight run to Boston, MA (1200 mile) thats just over 1700 mile in a day and half with no sleep (tell me that ain&#039;t super truckin&#039; with a 65mph truck) while I should of been at home on my 34 hour restart (I don&#039;t think I ever got a real restart or 10hr break when I worked for them). These things happened more often then I could tolerate and god forbid you draw a Wisconsin Paper Group (Neenah, WI) load these are messes to say the least, they are often times short on product or over weight and will take you into the bowels of every city on the east coast into LTL docks, schools, offices, and my favorite... carry out style stores in NYC. Now on top of that fun you have to turn in picture perfect logs while matching everything under the sun or you will lose your bonus and if the problem continues your truck will be cut back to 60 mph. They also have an entire department who&#039;s job (they act like it&#039;s their life) to audit your logs. Speaking of being cut back to 60 mph it doesn&#039;t take much to get that done to your truck like too many hard brakes, over speed, over 5% idle, too many tickets, you name it! I met many of driver at the Allenton yard who are 60 mph victims. I think it&#039;s important to put out that I&#039;ve never had an accident, ticket, or anything in a big truck in my whole life but that doesn&#039;t matter to these guys it&#039;s all about who can turns loads fast and make it look legal. The only thing these people have going for them is a shop program that&#039;ll put any other carrier to shame. Now with all that said I wanna make clear the owner is a hell of a good guy but his safety and log auditing&nbsp; departments are a freakin&#039; joke. There&#039;s even times I had to go take their truck to my national guard drill then turn around and run straight to my 1st stop out east after a full drill weekend. I would advise everyone to stay away from these guys until they fix the problems in safety, dispatch, and log&#039;s. In my book until things change they&#039;ll be just another Swift but with pretty trucks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
