The Web Of Lies And Misinformation

One parting thought (shot) on surveys. Who has the time and motivation to respond to a "survey"? Think about that,…for just a moment. I am not a mind-reader, but I believe most employees who are relatively happy with their job and company, especially truck drivers, do not have the time or motivation to respond to a survey. The former employee, terminated for multiple safety infractions, policy violation, accidents, or just a basic lack of work ethic are typically the people with both the time and motivation to respond to a survey. "Lawyer-up, let’s take down the evil trucking empire!"

Amen to that. When I was starting to look where to train and drive for all I saw was how bad Swift was. Well I went with to Swift anyway because Swift had the opportunities I was looking for. I thought, "What am I thinking? Are they not the worst ever trucking company?"

The two years I worked for Swift was great.

I had a real good DM he helped me so many times when I started.

Then after a year he helped me get into the dedicated run that I wanted and why I went with Swift to begin with. If it wasn't for the great offer I received to own my own truck and have a contract with a manufacture I would still be with Swift.

long story short great article G-town

A great/positive attitude is absolutely essential to being a successful driver for sure! I had a t-shirt as a freshman in high school that said, "Attitude is everything. The choice is yours." It took me awhile to really understand what that meant, but once I did, every aspect of home/work life improved for the better.

The people you see slandering carriers, dispatchers, shippers, recievers, etc...generally have a toxic, negative attitude and when they put their bad energy out into the world, it comes right back to them. When it does, instead of correcting their attitude problem, they do as mentioned...point fingers and blame others.
