On October 10, 1966, a new truck line began. This trucking company was destined to become one of the largest truck lines in history. Swift Transportation began operation by transporting imported steel from the port of Los Angeles to Arizona. On the turnaround they transported Arizona cotton to Southern California. Founded by Jerry Moyes, the original company operated under the name of Common Market. The Swift name was purchased from the Swift Meat Packing Family later on and the truck line name was changed to Swift Transportation. Jerry Moyes along with his father Carl Moyes, brother Ronald Moyes, and Randy Knight built Swift Transportation into a multi-million dollar business. When Jerry's father Carl passed away, Jerry Moyes became the sole owner of Swift Transportation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/logan-skeele/message

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — “I can't change my past, so I decided to change my future.” This statement by Sharae Moore, founder of S.H.E. Trucking, touches a resonant chord with many people, and it reflects her outlook on her career as well as her friendships and family relationships. Moore and her father, Carlos Crutcher share a unique father-daughter bond: Both are experienced over-the-road truck drivers. Moore is an owner-operator and drives for Riverside Transport Inc., while Crutcher is a company driver for Tranco Logistics. The two achieved their career goals through very different paths. After working as a certified nurse assistant for nearly a decade, at age 30 Moore decided it was time for a change. “I knew a guy that drove trucks, and he actually showed me his paycheck,” she said. “I said, ‘I want one of those!' And so I decided to join the trucking industry. I really didn't know what I was getting myself into. It was a whole new experience.” Another factor in Moore's decision to make a change in her life's focus was the death of a brother, 10 years earlier, when he was 30. “Here I was, turning his age, and I was thinking, ‘I need to do something with my life,'” she said. “That was my turning point, and that's when I came to the trucking industry.” After seeing an advertisement for “free CDL training,” Moore enrolled in training through Swift Transportation. “The training was good,” Moore said, adding that she remains in touch with some of her instructors, including Roderick Martin and Dee Hopson. “Roderick was a great trainer,” she said. “I still call him and ask questions.” Hopkins was instrumental in helping Moore overcome what was for her the toughest part of training — the backing maneuvers. “None of the guys in the class wanted to partner with us (women),” Moore said. “I said, ‘Ms. Dee, no one wants to be my teammate.' She said, ‘It's OK, you can be mine.' And so she taught me how to back, and do that 90 and everything ... and I just picked it up and got it. “I've never seen somebody so proud,” Moore continued. “When I started getting it, she jumped up and she said, ‘You got it!' It made me feel so good, going from struggling and struggling, can't get it, feeling defeated to, ‘Oh, you got it!'” On March 25, 2014, she earned her commercial driver's license and embarked on a journey as a professional truck driver. In the past six years, Moore has not only gained experience and confidence as a driver; she has also launched the S.H.E. Trucking clothing line and Facebook group, providing encouragement and support for women drivers. “In the beginning it's a struggle because the first year or two, everyone just stares. The men, they'll sit there and they'll just wait to see what you can do,” she said. “After a while, your confidence builds. You learn how to maneuver your rig, back easily and stuff like that. It's been a really rewarding experience.” S.H.E. Trucking began as a merchandising website for Moore's T-shirts and other apparel designed for women truckers. “I couldn't find any T-shirts that said I was a female driver, a lady trucker,” she said. As the S.H.E. Trucking clothing line grew in popularity, so did Moore's reputation as a mentor for other women in the trucking industry, as well as a source of advice for women wanting to earn a CDL. “They started posting on my personal Facebook page, and I thought, ‘I need a place for them to go,'” she said. “That's when I created the S.H.E. Trucking Facebook group. And it has grown into more than I ever imagined,” she continued. Today the mentorship group has more than 8,000 members and has gained an international following. In addition, Moore and the group have been featured in Facebook's Community Voices spotlight videos and hardcover book. “I never knew there were so many women drivers. It's so rewarding seeing the women accomplish their goals and being a part of that,” she continued. “The goal was to encourage women to be proud of...

This week’s News segment begins with hedge fund billionaire Lee Cooperman crying on TV and (what else?) Michael Bloomberg announcing he’ll run for president. Jerry Moyes: 7/10 on the David Koch Asset Liquidation Index Chad introduces us to Jerry Moyes, the retired founder of Swift Transportation. Moyes owned the possibly-fictional NHL hockey team the Arizona Coyotes before he ran it into bankruptcy. He owns the biggest boat on Lake Powell, which he named The Big Dog. He gives tons of money to Trump. He’s been involved in a number of shady financial dealings to serve his own greed. All basic billionaire shit. The main part of the Moyes segment involves the labor history of the trucking industry in the US. It’s a sad story, and you can probably guess how it goes. Gary Rollins: 7/10 Joe talks about Gary Rollins, CEO of Rollins, Inc., which owns Orkin Pest Control. The Rollins family has some drama. The kind of drama where you hire private investigators to steal your grandchildren’s medical records. Kids suing parents. Parents suing grandparents. Ratmen suing Ratbabies. This story is nuts. Orkin also regularly cheats people, poisons people, and sometimes cheats the people it poisons. Joe offers us some thoughts on insects (and our relations to them. Innenwelt and Umwelt.

Trucking Company Sues Trucking CompanyTrucking Company Sues Trucking Company. CRST recently sued Swift Transportation and won. A court agree with CRST the Iowa based trucking company that Swift Transportation was poaching drivers. CRST like other big carriers will sign a contact with a potential truck driver agreeing to train them in exchange for the training for a Class A Commercial Drivers License. This agreement is normally minded by a 10 month agreement. Once the driver completes the agreement CRST is suppose to release the driver from any obligation allowing the driver to seek employment where he/she desires. Weather it is with another carrier or if they wish to stay with CRST, they are free to now choose. Swift was caught actively recruiting these drivers which were currently under the CRST contract. https://cdllife.com/2019/crst-sued-swift-over-driver-poaching-and-won-15-5-million/https://www.ccjdigital.com/swift-ordered-to-pay-crst-15-million-for-recruiting-drivers-under-contract/http://talkcdl.com/sleep-apnea-does-it-even-matter/http://talkcdl.com/a-few-trucking-companies-to-avoid/http://talkcdl.com/trucker-crash-stats-hos/http://talkcdl.com/trucker-sleeper-birth-pay/ Honor your ink If you are a truck driver and sign a contract with a trucking company then honor your word. If you agree to drive for a carrier for a certain period then you must keep your word. Many drivers have signed an agreement only to break it. When you break your commitment it will not be as easy as you think it might be. Most carriers will not hire you because the trucking company will most like not verify your work history. What this means is the next carrier hiring you needs to verify that you have the needed experience. If your past trucking company will not provide the needed proof your trucking company need, you simply will not get the job. Instead you could end up working for very bad carriers that will rip you off or even worse not pay you at all. So, if you are thinking about a trucking career, you should consider everything you are entering into before signing an agreement to work for a trucking company that is going to train you.

Trucker-Wages have barely risen! Trucker-Wages in all 50 states. From the lowest to the best paying states to live in if you're wanting high truck driver wages. Alaska came in at number one while West Virginia sat at the bottom of the income of the trucking industry.   Truck driver pay is on the rise overall this year, but there are some states where drivers earn more. The average income of a long haul truck driver in the Unites States last year was $44,500, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, but the average salary for a truck driver varies dramatically by state. Breakdown of Trucker wages   Starting out in the trucking industry can be frustrating for rookies. What most new truck drivers do not understand is that experience is where the money is. Just like with any other job, entry level positions do pay considerably less. Going through a truck driving school that offers employment placement assistance really is your best bet. Inexperienced tractor trailer drivers are a high risk to companies. There are several reputable companies that do pay very well for first year drivers. Swift Transportation is the highest paying company for rookie drivers. Not only can new truck drivers get their schooling through Swift, they can go right into employment with the company when the schooling and training are complete. Swift allows student drivers to repay their tuition and schooling costs over a period of 26 months while employed with the company. On average, first year dry van drivers earn $41,110. Team dry van drivers, in their third year can earn roughly $88,710. The pay does gradually increase year by year, based on performance, safety and experience. Truckers with pockets full of money.   https://www.bing.com/search?q=United+States+Department+of+Labor&filters=sid%3ae2a2cc43-f417-04e2-cef4-79331598d826 Scrutinizing your truck driver pay check is a necessity. These days the costs to the truck driver are soaring. As a result, it becomes more important than ever to insure that you, as the driver, are being paid honestly by your carrier. While many carriers have yet to step up to the plate and pay their drivers for waiting time, there exists another part of the driver’s pay check which deserves some close scrutiny. Because the truck driver’s wages are based on a per mile traveled system, it is paramount in importance to insure that you are beingpaid for all the miles you have driven.
