Hello everyone I'm new around here and considering a career in trucking. From what I'm reading everyone says to stay away from Swift. But I'm at least curious to what is happening with Swift and the Teamsters. Are they going union? If they do will other OTR companies follow suit? Will the Teamsters make Swift a better company to work for? Tougher to get in?
I was raised in a "Union House" as my father has been a member of the STA/ILA for over 35 years so I've seen the benefits/draw backs for working in an organized labor situation 1st hand. To me the benfits outweigh the negitives for the most part.
I'm not really interested in LTL and want to run OTR so I'm thinking Swift (don't shoot me just yet as this is just a thought) may be looking good to get in a union situation and do what I want to do. I'm not sold just yet.
Any information or thoughts on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advanced,
Joe
