What does the term "dove tail in" mean?

Never heard of it.
Bobtail maybe?

 

Bobtail in...meaning no trailer.

To dove tail is something that you will only have to do on your wedding night or if you get hired by Swift and spend time with a trainer.

It is a Union term. If you had a terminal with with 5 drivers and the number of years of experience was 10, 8, 7, 4 and 3 years and a driver transferring to that terminal had 5 years of experience with the company he/she would DOVETAIL in between the 7 year employee and the 4 year employee. If a union driver is force to resign and start over at the other terminal without dovetail then that driver would be below the 3 year driver in seniority.
