    For all the badness that's posted about Swift, evidently they can't read either.

    Yesterday I was driving north on US-522 in PA. While coming out of McConnellsburg, sure enough I saw a Swift truck coming east on US-30, coming off of Sideling Hill where trucks don't belong, as there are signs posted in Breezewood saying no 102's, doubles, or trailers longer than 28', which basically limits that stretch of highway to short trailers and straight trucks.

    Now, whatever may have possessed this guy to want to cross Ray's Hill, Sideling Hill, and then Tuscorora Mtn on 30 is beyond me. Something must have happened on the Turnpike. But I do know that US-30 between Breezewood and 522 is off limits to just about all manner of truck traffic.

    When I was waiting for my truck to be cleaned at Swift I had met another female driver. She couldn't wait to tell me now the guys would get her empty trailers for her, she never had to hook up trailers as the guys were always doing that stuff for her. I didn't stick around to talk with her too long.....she ticked me off. No wonder women get a bad name when it comes to trying to drive a truck.

    Well, you have to be past the hotels and Skywalker's CB shop in Breezewood going east on US-30 to see it.

    I dont work for swift BUT those signs are always past the point of turning around.

    The map says it is a staa rd, the sign comes after you have any possibility of turning around. Just a way to make $$ of of tickets.

    Custom, don't make that move. Stay away from Swift. I worked for those guys once and know what they're like. You can read all about 'em here if you need more advice.
