What did Swift do to piss off California?

Picked up a t-call in Denver yesterday, two bad tires on it. Bad thing about the repair process is multiple steps and long wait just to get a simple repair done. Guess I'll see about the CA thing when I deliver on thursday. Time for some much needed home time for now.

 

hell the Denver terminal is full of red tagged trailers. that's why its no where to park

 

California is still pissed that you all turned your trucks up from 57 mph. You all behaved so well back then.

 

I have at times see a guy driving around at both the Edwardsville and SLC yard checking on trailers. I wonder now if this means that they are going to put someone on the fuel islands at the Columbus terminal for longer than 7-3. Also wonder what they will plan with Fontana? Ask the security guard to check out the trailer. And you bring up Lewiston, there is no place to check in when you arrive, just like Houston and some others.

 

They will pop a few trucks, receive some money, then it will be somebody elses turn

 

Ya Edwardsville does yard checks every morning including trucks I've woke to a red tag in my window for a bad tire on my truck before and it really sucks if they redraft a trailer your under and wake up to deliver and find a its been red tag for a tire but they chose not to fix it and exspect you to get it in shop before you leave I was late to deliver because they did this to me.

 

i guess the moral of the story is.. dont goto terminals to do yer 10, just pickup yer tcall and go. pgx red tagged my trlr when i was sleeping, i woke up 45mins before my delivery only to see a red tag for miss matched tires.. sounds good, but now im in line behind 5 other pist off drivers and sending in a mac22 pushing del back 4hrs.. yup my dm freaked and they un tagged me and let me out the gate.

as for showing yer dl & med card, i laugh. only place ive been asked to show mine was memphis, and all i said was its out in my truck ans she just gave me my tcall.. now if i have to show it going out the gate each time, then im going to kinkos and blowing them up and laminating it, then get creative and change my dl pic to see if they realy pay attention. its yet another polocy swift tried to inforce and failed.

this is why i try and avoid the terminals, and if im at one its to fuel, p/u tcall quick shower and i try and do that late night when the blue shirt monkeys are home. i have no reason to be at swifts yards, hell i dont even allow them to work on my truck.
no offence but swift lacks in more ways than none. i like swift, they run me, but i dont let them 'run' me.. right..

just avoid terms, and youll do fine.
