SWIFT - Stop Whining Im ##### Trying

 

Well all of us swifties arent bad, there are some really good and some decent drivers. But yes there are some real idiots behind the wheel of the big white.

 

You are right B23,Swift has been good to me also!Allright newbes it's whats good for you,alot of these people #itchen got thier start with swift,and even people there now arn't going to make it because thier homesick all the time.Ya it gets lonely outthere sometimes,ya some runs are better than others but take it from this driver i would'nt change it for anything!Other companys have all the same problems to, I hear it all the time,Swift isnt hireing to many experianced drivers anymore because you cant please them,Swift will give you that chance,they will pay for your school if you stay,and most of all,you have got to want it!Im Out Lost Dutchman

 

Yeah they have treated me really great so far, havent had many problems and the problems ive had have been miniscule. I run midwest regional so I get a lot of small runs but I hate the east coast and really love running familiar territory. Swift is a good company in my mind, didnt go through school with them so dont know about that end of it all but driving for them has been good. They take good care of the trucks, and most of the trailers, just wish they would get rid of all the piece of crap MS trailers they suck the big one. But all in all im happy with them and know a lot of other drivers that are happy with them. But if you sit around the terminals you will hear some crying and moaning from people who complain about getting a couple small runs but hey you gotta take them its still money in the bank just not as much. Well im just rambling now so I better stop before I write a book here.

 

The MS trailers are on a trade cycle. They are getting rid of them, and getting the nice new Best in Class trailers in. It's just a slow process, hopefully by next year they will be all gone.

 

They upgrading tractors as well ? seeing lots of used WHITE VOLVOS being advertised at VOLVO dealers in large quanity 25 - 30 at a time.

 

I actually saw an MS trailer yesterday that the MS decals had been removed and the stock Swift decal had been added. That kind of surprised me because the talk when I was there that they were selling off all the MS trailers. I guess they found one good one they wanted to hang on to. LOL

 

Saw 3 MS dryvans that were in MINT condition sitting at an old service centre in New Hampshire last summer , weeds were pretty high around them so they had sat for a while.

Likely missed in the computer

 

Hey Flatbed,I think they are slowly getting rid of the volvos because they SUCK!!No #alls up a hill.And yesterday and the past 2 weeks there's been 10-15 of us running the new green trucks from PHX to Miraloma like crazy,they have all ben Freightliners and Internationals,while all those other guys have the same ol cottenpickin trucks and trailors.They also have talking qualcomms with GPS. I'M OUT. Lost Dutchman

 

It definately could be, almost everyone I have ever seen needs to go to the scrap yard.
