    If it was still ''Central'', I'd still be there. Swift was my problem. Of course I haven't much to compare them to since I drove back in the mid 90s my first time around. I think Central as it was, was a decent company to work for. My tolerance for petty BS isn't too high. Swift is making the driver's job harder, IMO. I left on good terms, push comes to shove, I can probably go back and learn to live with their system. Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and eat some crow....lol.
    I have 2 interviews this week with small companies looking for local drivers. Hoping one of them pans out.
    Time will tell if I left too hastily.

    Lady K, how are they treating the L\Os' in the new system under Swift? I think I read somewhere you are running dedicated for Central/Swift.
    You have an inverter or APU? I would have loved to have a frig. in the truck. Heck, my truck didn't even have hook up for a CB radio.

    Its not to bad .
    Just call with the comdata station code , and they can open your card up for there . I have to do it all the time dor reefer fuel...

    Just make sure you tell the store you want the comdata station code , and not the store # .

    Since we go to the same three places each week, it's been easier on us than others... All our pay/fuel stuff has basically been grandfathered over except for small changes with the taxes and ComData fees...

    We have an inverter and have dedicated our top bunk for two small fridges (one as fridge the other as freezer) and other storage.
