Okay, Swifties,Make Your Voices Heard

If my job here goes south here, im going too swift , so i learn all this anyway, ive been outa truck for 4 years now so anything will be a big help and by reading these forums i know i be all right with a good trainer

 

I'm sure Swift is opposed to the new proposed HOS. I'm opposed to them as well of hundred of thousands of people who are opposed to them. But changed come in mass....

Do you want to be grouped in with a thousand other drivers on making one comment? Or do you want your thought, opinions, & comments to be heard by making your own comment on the FMSCA website?


I don't trust anyone to speak for me. If you do that is fine. Accept Swifts offer. But me personally, I speak for myself & made my own contribution to the FMCSA website.

 

Mac 23 ...good ridence..those dang instructions are messed up most of the time....go down 1/2 block t/l (east) after rr tracs take 3rd left before the kangaroo on right then go under overpass to lite (n) t/l and shipper on west side of moon....see ya mac 23...rip

 

when i was with swift i was always bumping my 70 and rolling over constantly.. it comes down to those who work and run hard and those who stop and every truck stop and bs all day

 

i hope for all the swifties out here that maptuit is a whole lot better than it use to be

it use to route you onto restricted roads and bridges and my fav dead ends...

 

Maptuit is more disasters waiting to happen, now even more so than ever a truck routing gps should be put in the trucks if they want us to use that crap. I have my own truck gps, it ain't perfect but way better than maptuit. Craptuit is a mess of roads all put together as directions, say I'm going east on I80 every little road will be shown on the directions that connects to 80, eg. I80, IA45, IA12,US77, I80 when it could easily just say I80 east to exit 24, TR to white metal bldg approx 3miles rhs, like macro 23 would have. What a mess.

Maybe they are doing it cause maptuit uses less characters and they get charged for every character via qualcom msg's. Horrible decision Swift WTH!!!

 

Good point. Mac 23 is " . . a little girl that had a little curl . . when she was good, she was very, very good and when she was bad, she was horrid."

I say 23 was very, very good far more often than she was horrid. She is one more tool where the QC fuel route is always incomplete, the phone number with the load is wrong or unattended, the person on the other end doesn't speak English or can't comprehend the difference between a big truck and a car, the MC atlas doesn't have the detail and online maps give an approximate or no location at all. It's a tool. One more helpful tool. It helps to eliminate doubt, it creates certainty, saves time and completes the picture. And, sometimes, it leaves you no better off than you were when you started, so you use more tools.

For now, my kit is one tool short.

 

23 was a lot better than kraptoit. Occasional screw ups but we had the opportunity to send in a correction.

My favorite 23 response was "exit **, you'll see store on your right". I go to the exit and the "store" was a right turn off the exit, travel 3 miles over a hill and through 10 traffic lights to find the store on the right....

I should have used my laptop.

 

Like the women that I have been married to in the past...I believe every word my GPS says...we know how that is gonna turn out in the end...even a womans voice...oh my....just sayin'
