Barnem and Bailey recently made a proposal to purchase Swift Transportation. News release stated that Barnum made the statement that he personally didn't want the trucks, only the clowns who drive them.:rolleyes:

Why am I suddenly envisioning the SWIFT driver I seen last night doing about 30 mph through the Flying J parking lot in Greenwood, LA? :)

damn that just irratates me to death when i see that. somebody is gonna get hurt one day and then what ? they have no defense, parking lots are clearly marked. what an idiot.
 
I also heard the that most dangerous place to be, in the world of trucking is in the middle of a SWIFT Terminal.

What do you have when 365 SWIFT Trucks are all headed in the same direction along the same Interstate. That's taking up all 4 Lanes and 91.25 rolls of them?
Answer: 1 year of experience.
 
I think you are still under a year. A couple of them were sleeping while driving, that doesn't count as experience :)
 
lts still the biggest trucking co. in the world i guess u came out of the womb driveing thats why your so good at turning around cuz u went back in
 
Ohhhh, I think we hit a nerve, rwtes must be a Swifty gal.

Word of advise: Quit, before it's too late, Get out of there or you'll be ruined for life
 
to each there own. what works for one person might not work for another.
 
:D

you got to start some where i was a stunt man for 15 years done things with car,bikes & trucks that would make your mama shit my last ck was 1503.00 if you know a better place to start or just want an ass kicken ill show you how we do it in hollywood just cuz i work for swift doesent mean i dont know what im doing thats like saying your from tenn. so your first ass was farm ass but who knows your first ***** was probly related at least thats what i here about people from tenn. but lets give you the benifit of the dought you probly havent had ***** u dident pay for you shouldent lump people togather cuz thay work for a co. or there from tenn. or there a red neck or what ever you should spend your time trying to be safe around every one so you can get home to the ones you love :p
 
Damn, Muhammid Ali couldn't have thrown a counter punch that well ;)

I love the large company jokes, but it is true that you have to start somewhere, and unfortunately, the large companies are the ones that make themselves readily available to hire drivers.

I should know, I started with J.B. Hunt 16 years ago. Back then, big companies were really hated (especially JB).
 
Try not to generalize too much. I know its all in good fun but some might not know how to take it. Let em serve their time and maybe we can get a few good ones out of it. I started at USA n I used to hear alot of USA jokes but Im too concieted to let it bother me ( the roads are definitly safer with me out there driving, percentage wise ). Then again, we cant pick pick on 4wheelers cuz we know they all S@#K.

You always need to consider you started driving 4 wheels before you drove 18
 
rwtes, it would appear you left him speechless. Its all good, were here to share experiences, fun, assistance, knowledge and from time to time give someone a hard time. Welcome to the forums rwtes
 
Whoa!!! Did ya'll run out of things to talk about. This thread was only one year, and, nine months old. Old dusty stuff makes me sneeze. :tissue:

I like Swift drivers. They are soooo predictable.
