    I knew you were on crack, IH, but really. It'll take more than a SwiftQuit cheerleader to disprove reality. Go to ripoffreport's site and check out all the entries for Swift Transportation. How many are for just April 2008? I'll let that speak for itself. Do a check of Crete's as well. Wake up from your dream sleep before you go there, though.

    'Nuff said, gentlemen.

    Do I ever love my signature.

    You are weak with your reply, you have to bring it here,..and that didnt, The day wont never come here, where I will go do your research for you to attempt to back up your wild accusations. I still want to know why you said "Swift knowingly allows itself to be bled" and why you referred to me as "Shadow", then I might start taking you seriously, your credibility is on the line here.

    Huge trucking companies have taken a dirt nap in the past.It's just as possible that Swift could be the next as any other company.

    I doubt many would mourn their passing."Good riddance to bad rubbish" I think is the term that would be used.

    I worked for Merchants Fast Motor in the 70' & 80's. A group called the Wedge Co bought us, Delta, and McClain who at the time was 3rd only to Roadway and Yellow. They managed to bankrupt them in a few years. Merchants hung around until the mid 90's and then bit the dust. Yeah Muleskinner, the big boys can bite the dust if not run to take care of the customer, shareholder, and the employees. Most of em' now days just worry about the owners and everyone else be ######. What goes around comes around.

    I believe he was referring to somebody else.

    Any big Corp. can go under, even faster than a small Company.If they think they can not thats when they are in trouble.

    Sure Swift could go out, but I consider myself anything but rubbish, and as far as mourning their passing,..a lot of people would mourn their passing,..in fact over 100,000 peeps would mourn it day one if they went out,..the employees and their families,..I dont wish anyone to lose a job no matter who they drive for. You driver have no character .

    I try not to respond to Tip's post for the simple fact if I would say the sky is blue Tip would say no its Pink, Red, Orange, ECT. Tip if you honestly believe that when Mr. Moyes bought out the shares of the company last year, and his so propose was to let Swift bleed. And you said IH was on crack? He bought out the company for 2.74 billion dollars just to let Swift bleed? I don’t think that we wants to see a company that he started with him and his brother with one truck back in 66 just to let it bleed. We all know that all the reports on Ripoffreports are all true when the person typing the report did not embellish it to make it look like he or she did nothing wrong. Now I am not saying that all of them are embellished, but to say it's on Ripoffreports it must be true. But since you are the amazing Carnac what else is Mr. Moyes up to, since you can read his mind knowing he wants to let Swift bleed.
