It's odd, in the past companies have given you the oportunity to sign up for insurance at hire and offered an annual open enrollment, but Swifty makes you wait for an open enrollment no matter when you are hired.

If you are seeing visions however, park and take a bus home!

I will always make it back home its just a matter of what my carcus looks like when i get there....

The crazy hours, no regular schedule, bad food, and sitting for extended periods all add up to bad news.
My Doctor says I'm 168 inside
Ride hard, die fast, leave a good looking corpse was the mindset until I got old and ugly.
The tiny bit of extra money ain't worth it, you'll spend more trying to repair the damage if you live long enough.
While running like this you'll be the teachers pet, but when it catches up to you and you need a break they will put another chump in your seat in a heartbeat and forget your name.
Take care of yourself first. -

This... I really believe that a person needs a couple of days a month away from his truck. Not so much for sleep, but to rest, socialize, eat good, responsibilities and so on. The longer you stay out, the chances of an accident increase. Without proper rest, you become less attentive.
Not to mention, those energy drinks are horrible for you. Just by replacing them for water would make you feel a hell of a lot better. Plus, it would save you a good amount of money.Mommas_money_maker Thanks this. -
Really they said you can only sign up during enrollment- I was able to sign up between my first day and to the 30th day. My insurance kicked in at the first of the month after my first 30 days. I'd be calling the 800 to Phoenix. Somebody gave you some wrong info.

Only 1 time have I ever seen a driver dead at the wheel. The company I worked for years ago, they said, Go outside and wake the driver up, and tell him he is unloaded and have him pull out. Jumped up on the step, he was a foot from the window, knocked on the window, no responce.
