On the road again with swift

Orientation with Swift was a really boring 2 days, Mostly alot of paper work and films. Some of the films are out dated one was explaining how to use the trip pacs still and Swift is actually using Transflo now. The motel wasn't bad I payed extra and got a single room. They feed you lunch I think it was from Subway, they give you a menu and you order what you want. And one evening we got Dominos pizza free from the motel. I just got home was out three weeks averaged around 2600 miles a week mostly drop and hook. And I was always preplanned on my next load before delivery of the load I was on. Also the Doc for the physical was very good he checked out everything and I mean everything lol. The road test was easy just around a couple of blocks and backing between two trailors, just make sure you get out and look before backing. Hope this helps everyone be safe!!

 

Just got home I had a good 13 days out, I went from KY to Tenn then up to St. Louis were I loaded for Phoenix, AZ were I got to see the main HQ then to ALBRQ, NM then to Denver CO and unloaded then reloaded at Coors in Golden, CO for Trenton, OH. and then the finale load from INDY to Winchester, KY. were they deadheaded me to Prestonsburg, KY were I live. I dont load until 1600 Monday in Kemper, KY which means 3 nights at home. Life is good. I have my 30 days in which is what the Dedicated fleet director told me to get in then to give him a call and he would tell me what dedicated runs are in my area. He said during orientation I could get on Sears account or maybe PPG so I may try one of them for awhile. Everyone stay safe!!

 

Home for the weekend leaving out tomorrow, I have been on a Sears dedicated acount for the last 2 weeks. I have been home both weekends but my checks are not nearly as much. Some of the Sears stores are pretty tough locations to get in and out of, but all the loads are really light. I had 4 stores in North Carlina last week with only 7000 pounds and less then half a trailor load. Everyone stay safe!
