Some holiday research
On my way up from Florida to Tennessee yesterday, which was christmas, i decided to do a little bit of quick, not in detail research to see first off how many trucks were out there away from their family on the holiday, and secondly to see who these company's were. Now i know some drivers may choose to stay out over the holiday, and that seemed to be the norm. for my little research project, all your big companies Ex.Werner, Schneider, LCT, Roehl, Covenant, etc. had about 5 to 6 trucks out on that stretch of road. But what amazed me, and as i got further in to the journey, the numbers of one particular company just kept going up. Can you guess who? I'll give you a minute, but if you couldn't guess, it was SWIFT. I counted over 20 trucks, and that was before the sun went down. Like i said, i know it might be a choice for a driver to stay out, but i don't know about more than 20. Anyway, i was not trucking, i was on my way to Tennessee for Christmas vacation, and just thought some of you out there might find it interesting. Hope everyone has a good new years.
