spec4 e4 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Got my marching order to deadhead from Atlanta, Ga to Morris, Il. That is so dumb. They are paying me 662 miles to go to Morris, Il. You think that Swift has something for us to pick up and del. Oh, well, not my problem, as long they keep us moving. spec.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Hi spec.4, How does the arrests of those Swift & Co. illegals effect you drivers? Maybe the reason they deadheaded you you is because of the labor shortage in certain plants? fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manureman Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Are they the same co. ?Years ago I raised turkeys for Swift, Swift Premium Butterballs.I'm not positive but I think Swift Meats or what ever they go by now is a totally different company than Swift Trucking.

RGRWJB Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 When you go through Ottawa, Illinois wave at my brother for me. I lived there as a young whipper snapper for 17 years. Not much around that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel49 Rebel49, we ate there just after we drop our trailer at Costco, then we headed to St. Peter, Mo. where we pick up an loaded trailer that has the tread off the tire on the RRI and the mudflap was rip in half and missing half. Took 12hours to get it fix. On Road wanted me to lumped it to the T/A. I replied no way. Safety first. I waved but no one wave back at me, RGRWJB.
