    Saw a Swift tractor pulling a C. R. England trailer. Must surely mean the end is near. That or England decided to give someone else an opportunity to wedge one of their trailers under a parking garage.

    I think they used to pull a lot of doubles years ago. I remember seeing pictures.

    They pull rocky mountain sets here all the time for Sam's Club or Costco. I can't remember which one.

    Probably couldn't find a SWIFT trailer, and just grabbed the nearest one!:biggrin_25523:

    They use Interstate Doubles for their Costco loads here.

    I think I saw them about 2 weeks ago.

    Maybe, it has not found a way out yet.

    What you saw was the typical student with 6 months of experience who signed on with the Swift Lease program take a second job so that he can try to break even. All of us win though. With the lease dude working his second job, we all win because that means there is one less CR England driver out there to back into someone at the Pilot.
