Hey everyone sorry I've been gone for so long. I been runnin my @$$ off for the last 6 weeks. Finally took a 34 hour reset and got a hotel room to get me out of the truck for 2 days.

Neways Swift is treating me awesome as I haven't stopped running except for 2 days that my truck was in the shop for some minor repairs n a new windshield (birds suck at 65mph....) lol.

definately good to see you doing good, it's always weird when you guys go off for training and it's like you fell off the face of the world, i'm sure i'm not the only one interested in the progress with all the new guys/girls out there and their new careers. Keep up the good work, and stay safe.

Krzysztof!!! I wondered where ya where at. Thought ya feel into one of those black holes, ya know the sci fi ones not the other kind :wink: Hows swifty been so far?? What kind of miles you been getting? Any interesting stories that need to be told?

[Krzysztof]

Well I'm runnin 3000-3500 miles/week. And I have a 75mph truck unlike the rest of my brothern. I didn't ungovern it tho I know how to and would've lol.... it wasn't governed when I got it.

Only stories so far are of moronic 4 wheelers and a ABF driver that would've gotten his @$$ kicked if he stopped saturday. I was headed south on US 491 in NW New Mexico, goin up one of the small bumps and passing a ABF haulin doubles. At the top of the hill his lane ended and he was behind me but instead of merging back into the only lane he kept on the shoulder and sped up. Once he started overtaking me I backed it down and conceded. Well when he swung his rig off the shoulder and back into the lane his rear trailer swayed and I swerved and braked more but his rear trailer bent both my right main mirror and my right fender mirror and took some of the decal #'ing off the front right corner of my truck. I honked the horn and eventually caught up to him and motioned him to the side of the road after seeing he had no CB. He kept driving once I started to pull over. Called his company and filed a complaint as well as Swift. Its not a preventable for me because a) no real damage was done, b) I was in a lane of travel he was in the shoulder c) the side of his trailer hit me not me hitting the rear of his trailer.

Man I never realized how bad most 4 wheelers drive until I really got into driving a rig. I like to think I wasn't ever that stupid but alas I know I probably was. Glad to finally see the bigger picture tho.

I'll check in tommorow before I leave town. (doin a 34 hr reset and livin it up in a hotel... first time in 5 weeks I been out of the truck)

I would love to comment but not going to. Just be careful and use extra caution when passing other trucks going up hills when you can see the slow moving traffic lane comes to an end.

A 75MPH Swift truck? I'd have to see that! Well, Krzysztof, it's good to hear from ya. Glad to hear that you are enjoying yourself. Be careful, keep having fun.
