[QUOTE="Slick silver, post: 1774541, member: 52130"] I remember my first day out as a swing, man I thought I was never going to get done. So many lates, delivering in the dark. If you are truly going to go through with it, my recommendation is just keep your cool and don't worry to much about management. When I started and took a swing position, I was so worried that I was going to be fired since I was failing a lot and having bad numbers. Now I don't even worry about it since Memphis can't even get it right with the late flights and everything. The first chance you get to get out of the position the better. Either it be another job or bidding on the crappiest route that comes open that no one wants when you 12 or so months are up with commitment letter. Also whenever you can if they schedule on a pm route, consider like a vacation week. That's how I get through some of my weeks now. Especially after working weeks were im about 55 plus hours. Pm routes at my station are easy as hell and you don't even work the minimum and still get 35 hrs for the week. Good luck to you, because like everyone says express is in a bad place right now and with the turnover and call offs, being a swing can mentally drain you real quick. [/QUOTE]
