they've had those since before i started. there are a bunch of them out of the lathrop, ca terminal.

jerry is no longer going to be in action. stockingsomething is taking over as the head honcho. the only thing that's different between jerry and cunningham is that jerry will still have some reach within the company.

When I was with swift I was based out of the PA terminal. Probably why I never noticed them before :).

Jerry was a moron anyway. Hopefully the new guy will actually do something good for the company. But Swift is like the US Government, it is too big for it's own good, it will still self destruct eventually.

You know how many people have been praying to the trucking god 'firestone', asking for Swift to go belly up? and you know for how long???? probably longer than you ever thought about getting behind the wheel of a big truck. and guess what.....they're still going.

so keep praying....i'm sure there is one god up there who hears ya......probably the god of bowling, who really cant help ya out. HAHAHAHAHHA

matcat, that is something. It's funny that they still make cabovers. I see they haven't changed much, either. This new one looks like it's still has about as much room inside as a Volkswagon. :p That truck reminds me of ole Joe Bob Hunt, and Schneider. :lol:
