Aha! A brand-new International parked in front of headquarters at Phoenix yard. Excellent recruiting tool, but is this something to be expected? :confused:

think those arrow nosed internationals are FUGLY.
as far as swifts equipment. I think they've got some of the best trucks (again, based on the driver). But overall, its good equipment. I'm in my 2nd Volvo (new in Feb. 2009) and haven't had any major issue with the trucks. the 2005 Volvo i started with, had 530,000 miles on it...and never once had a major breakdown issue with it. Compare them to Schneider or JB Hunt, and you'll find some REALLY jacked up looking trucks. Orange duck tape, missing bumpers....
i think one thing Swift could do, is cut down on all the different makes of trucks. Go with all Volvo, KW or Freightliner. This will cut down on all the diffferent starters, wiring harness', oil filters, etc. on hand thus cutting down on overhead in all the shops.
