schneider versus swift

can you tell me which co would be better in the long run for schooling and then working for them since i would have to stay with them for 1 yr with schneider and up to 26 months with swift or if anyone has another co to look at i live in fl.thank you

Both are entry level companies so I'd go with the one having the least post-training requirements. BOL

yes good idea :roll: :roll: :roll:

my .02-- I herd a lot of negatives about both why did you narrow it down to these 2 :?:

One drives White trucks, the other drives Orange. I believe Swift has a pet policy while Schneider doesn't allow company drivers to bring pets. Both go 65 mph. Both run Detroits and 10 speed transmissions. Both run mostly Freightliners........lol thats about it. :lol:

Neither, pay for the license yourself and go to work for someone else!!!

HE DID BUT NO_ONE RESPONDED :roll:

There are several responses on there!

Actually.... since he shows his location as "Dundee, FL" which is a bit south of Winter Haven on US27....I think of the two he only has one option.... To the best of my knowledge the Pumpkin doesn't hire in central FL.... so Swift would be it out of those two.

But what gets me is why is it that the "newbies" always want to go with the "megacarriers"..... who pay the least and have long histories of horror stories and such?? (Truthfully...I have never heard anything negative about Schnieder... so I was just speaking very "generically"...)

If you are interested in getting with a good carrier with an excellent track record that has outstanding equipment and pays well.... either PM or email me about CFI, and you can do a search here on this site using Skywalker and/or CFI as the searchwords... and you can also come over the http://www.cfidrivers.com and register and you will find out tons of information about the company.

If you are a student driver and want to know about the student programs, just call 1-800-641-4748, ext 5718 and speak with Christine, or email her at [email protected] Just tell her "Skywalker" sent you. (No money in it for me....just want her to know who sent you that way!)
