Swift Transportation Company, Inc. - Phoenix, Az.

They turned the A/C off.

 

AND going down hill...

 

Hey guys easy on the cracks about the 65 mph truck...i got one and i drive for ups freight....anyway enough about that...what i was gonna say was that is why them swift trucks are so slow cuz of the drivers are so new...and they are still killin people...jeez...i guess if your trained by a trainee thats y....

 

Hey turbo! I had picked up a load in high point nc and had to del the next day in alabama...somewhere off 59....anyway, i two choices of routes i could take as both were the same miles....i-40 thru the gorge or i85 thru atlanta...since i was carrying 43000+ i decided on the 85 route as the best choice....and later on that day i caught news of that accident you are talking about...talk about luck....had i went 40 i would have been stuck ....sad about the driver!!!

 

With an O/O pushing his bumper!

 

Found this about KLLM. Note the advertised 42 CPM. Is this considered a good trucking position? Is there any thing wrong with this wanted ad?

 

What a thread. And I've missed on the fun....until now.

I worked for Swift. Two of my school buddies worked for Swift. I worked for them the longest--three months. The other two were gone after about six weeks.

I won't begin to tell all the tales I can recount regarding this slave-driving outfit. I just don't have the time. Besides, I don't want to wear out my keyboard or write a reply that'd take you 8 hours to read. Some of the tales are my own accounts, while others are my fellow ex-Swiftys' accounts.

All I can say, and I hope any of you thinking of going to Swift will believe me, is that I can use every letter of the alphabet to begin a nightmare story about these guys and just be getting warmed up.

Don't go with Swift. Stay FAR away from this company. They treat drivers very badly. And now they have to answer for that. This is one place I see they are. And I'm somebody who will make sure you know the truth about the rotten apple known as Swift Transportation, so I'm joining in the chorus myself. Sorry, you tightwad mormon Jerry Moyes, but I stand up for myself.

For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. This is true in physics and it's true in economics.

No matter who you are, you can't screw people over and expect to get away with it. That's especially true in this new internet era of blogging. These companies like Swift must realize this or go the way of the do-do bird.
