Question regarding Swift policy

Dang it boy! I've been working for Swift for just about 10 years, if what you are saying about the no touch freight is true I must have gotten every drop and hook and live unload Swift had! In all my time here, I think I have done a driver unload or driver assist 2, maybe 3 times. I sure do appreciate all the other drivers doing all the unloading!

 

I haven't worked there, but the Stevens drivers posts I've read say the training is excellent.

 

was only a driver with them for about 3 months and i only had i think 2 loads where they where true drop and hooks.1 was when i was a student and 1 just before i left NONE where ever the weight the bill or the tattletale told me they would be and i was NEVER once in and out of a s/r or terminal in under an hour..maybe i got the #### end of the stick who knows thats just the hand i was dealt with them and why i left.Starting with WE here soon will share my story there as it unfolds...ik ppl say all kinds of bad stuff but thats true bout every company someones bound to have a bad time

 

If you wanna pay 3k for your license go to swift academy.

 

only way you can get an inverter installed is if you have sleep apnea and need the machine

 

i've only had a couple driver unload in the 1.5 yrs i been here. unless you're on those dedicated accts. that require you to unload, swift really doesn't want drivers to unload. though there are custumer that require it too

 

Just a heads up this is but a small taste of what your gonna hear driving their trucks let me tell ya until you build a name for yourself and people start to recognize you everywhere you go your gonna hear a swift joke these are amongst the most common

swift..sure wish i finished training,slow wagon in fast traffic,swing wide its a freaking trailer,sure wont incure fastlane tickets,sure wish i'd floored it there,see werner i'm a ftard too,#### will it freaking turn,student with incompetent freaking trainer,sure wish i'd found traction,see what i freakedup today,Stupid-drivers Will Intimated Fourwheelers by Tailgating,Stop Whining I'm freaking trying,sedated while in fast lane of traffic,sure we're insured for that,sure wish i'd freakin turned,six wrecks in first trip,Sure, We'll Intentionally Forestall the Truckscales,students will inevitably fubar transmissions,Slow Weak Incompetant Fat 'Truckers'

there's more where that came from but lets move onto the jokes

how can you tell if your wife is cheating on you with a swift driver?
A he'll still be trying to back out of the driveway a week later when you get home

Q: What does a Swift Driver and a Peterbilt 379 have in common?


A: Neither of'em seem to be able to turn at the right moment... and when they do, it's too little, too late.


Q: What also does a Swift Driver and a Peterbilt 379 have in common?


A: They're both not worth the headaches when trying to back up in the yard (or on the open road for that matter), and they're both scrapable.


Q: Then, what's the difference b/w the two?
A: One's worth more than the other... (guess which one's expendable.)

Sure Wish I'd Found a real Trainer

This part is not to bash on swift just to give you a heads up on what to expect wish you luck in whatever decision you make

 

I helped unload a trailer once.

I had to, the chick driving the forklift was a hottie and it was about 90 degrees outside. She was dressed for the conditions .

 

deadric8....give it a rest. op asked about inverters. dont highjack the thread with all that garbage. if you want to bash swift, go make you own thread
