I've heard a rumor that Swift is having problems meeting their driver payroll. I stress that this is a rumor I have heard. I am not trying to spread it, just trying to get some verification. If Swift is having problems, what is going to happen to the other companies, especially the smaller ones? Anyone have any hard facts about this? If true, it's disturbing.

For the past several months there has been all sort of rumors going around about Swift being in financial trouble, along with a few of the other mega carriers.

What did I hear today: Swift is going under, TMC bought Maverick, Schneider bought J.B. Hunt and Prime sucks.

If you heard it on the CB or at the lunch counter it must be the gospel truth.

That's hard to believe, because what they pay there drivers is the one of lowest in the trucking industry and some of there lease ops are paying the company to drive.

But it would be great to see this bottom feeding company go under and the freight go to a better paying companies with better company policies.

I bet there CEO is still getting his pay?

Right

So you want Swift to go under and there business taken by some other company that pays better and has better policies?
OK. Name me a few of the other bottom feeders who could actually do this. OK. Name me just one.

That statement has to be one of the most asinine, dumb, moronic statements that I have seen on this site.

You want to put 20,000 plus people out on the street? From the cooks at the Jake Brake in Phoenix, to the mechanics in Memphis?

Oh yeh, but you'll say they could be hired by Bottom Feeder Mega Carrier to work for them. Sure.

And if they are able to land a job with the BFMC it will be for what the BFMC will thow at em. Crumbs. "Your lucky to have this deal, cause I can hire somebody else for even LESS than we're paying you"

You think 30 to 40 cpm is tough now? If they go under, guys will be fighting for 20 to 25 cpm jobs. Because all the other bottom feeders will say.

TAKE IT or LEAVE IT.

And I did drive for Swift and I have nothing but kind words for those hard working men and women who still do.

[ben45750]

You might want to read the entire post before you start the Troll tactics. oldcodger said that he "did" drive for Swift and that he has respect for the drivers who currently "do" still drive for Swift.

So how can oldcodger be a "lo$er" driving for Swift if he doesn't drive for Swift?
