Thread: Swift or Prime?

    Default Swift or Prime?

    I gotta make a choice. I have heard great about both as well as bad about both. I suppose that you will hear that about ALL of them. I am scheduled to start class on the 9th with Swift and the 8th with Prime (if I can EVER get my previous employer to call them back). Just wondering which I should go with.

    Any drivers for either that want to weigh in on this for me? Ive read a lot of posts about both companies. Just want to hear YOUR take on it as well.

    I don't know much about either? If I had to pick though I would go with Swift. Being one of the biggest it could be easy to get lost in the mix but it could also open the door to more opportunity's?

    Out of the two, Swift would be my vote.

    At least with Swift you won't be some lease operators pet slave for several months and you won't have to listen to all the pro lease purchase propaganda Prime is notorious for.
    Finding the right trucking company is like finding the right person to marry. I really comes down to finding one whose BS you can put up with and who can put up wih yours.

    Out of the 2 bad ones I'd go for Prime also as a company driver. Rather I'd go look elsewhere.

    That's like deciding whether to cut off your arm above or below the elbow. :wink:
