Thanks for the replies.

That plus the pee stench keeps me away from truck stops. I prefer rest areas whenever possible. Will go to a truck stop only to fuel, shower or shop. HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!!

Hi truckers, hope you enjoyed xmas holiday.

Question for Swifters - when does home time time start? Day after you last worked or immediately you leave the terminal? Are off days same as home time?

To all, who knows what is legally the beginning of home time?

LOL, my current trainee came from Swift. What you're getting instead of your current 62mph on the pedal, you're going to have a whopping 63 on the pedal and 65 on cruise.

YOU WON'T NOTICE A DIFFERENCE.

Mine goes faster than that. No need to go into details.

I am a Swiftie....they know l hate driving at night, though l have to sometimes. For me, the extra miles l can add in the daylight hours we have now makes a big difference for me.... So yes, am happy for the "extra speed".

My thought is that it has more to do with the asthma as a medical issue than a driving issue. i had a instructor who taught me in a 2015 Cascadia, i failed the backing with him. he had to go home for family issues

i was placed with Turtles trainer in a 2016 cascadia. felt totally different with shifting and clutch. i passed backing with zero points, then failed the road test TWICE for stalling and impeding traffic. third time i did great however the examiner told me beforehand that if i failed again i could go home and test then come back with my license.

so that leaves the medical issue. if the asthma can affect your performance that much, i wonder if they saw it as a safety issue. did you discuss this with stan or brooke?

Was thinking the same thing.

Got a load - 4660lbs picking up in Kansas City heading to York PA. Been monitoring the weather and its not going to be good......talking of strong winds from PA to the east coast. My load is too light for this weather. How would you cope/drive in said weather?

Hi y'all . so I'm a rookie driver for swift this is only my second week . I'm on the walmart blitz and got 2400 miles in last week .today sent my macro 6 in and pta . no next load so took a 30 . still no next load so sent a macro 0 in got a reply you need to send in macro 10 no load right now . so sent in a macro 10 got reply you need to send macro 0 no load right now . so finally to the question what do I have to do to get another load ???

Try sending Macro 30.

So you all agree its not a DOT violation not to havd them? How would you know wben to use them if customer has already locked doors and put a seal? Most of my loads are drop/hook.

If you have none, is it a DOT violation?
