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.

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?

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

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

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).
