I am new to trucking, basically Im straight out of school. I was thinking of going with swift.
What do you guys think of the company?
With there regional route do you really get home after 5 or 6 days?

Any another info would be wonderful!!

 

Type Swift in the search feature and you will get all the info you need.

 

i would look somewhere else

 

I will check in the search option, thank you, It sounds so far like they may not be my best option. Man, trucking is not easy to get into.

 

Decent company: not the best, not the worst. I have a couple of guys that I graduated with driving with them now and so far they are all happy with their training. Say they are treated pretty good and are happy with Swift.

 

With their regional you get home every 5 to 6 days usually but you only have 1 day off afterward.

 

I worked for Swift right out of driving school, but that was about 8 years ago. My memories are not overly fond ones.

Like any trucking company though how good or bad a person finds them will depend on what type of person you have for a fleet manager and at Swift a lot will also depend on the type of person your terminal manager is also.

My fleet manager was a total witch. Former driver who thought she could drive a load of ice through hell on the 4th of July in a dry van and not loose on ounce of it. :roll: :roll:

The pluses were: Never had a fouled up paycheck. Decent equipment.

 

Swift eh? Never heard of 'em. :shock: :wink:

 

I think they are a small family run company I think out of Arizona :roll:

 

Before you ask about a company check the forums.I am still waiting on a call from a company.Swift was the first company I was going looking at then I did my checking and found out it is the worse or close to worse big company out there.
