I registered specifically to respond to this thread. I used to dispatch for Swift. I doubt that they're the worst outfit on the road, but I saw plenty of horror stories. Swift is not the type of company where I would send a friend. Or a friend's dog. They do all they can to take advantage of their drivers, and their pay is crappy. I would keep looking, and not look back.
Your pay will by even more dry if you join those carriers.Swift sent me the new pay package for otr drivers and for 26 months of otr expirience that i have they will pay 26 c.p.m . F%$#%$# That, I made 26 to 30 c.p.m at schneider my 1st year of driving.Swift trucks now run 65 mph !!! At least thats what the ad said !!! There might have been a typographical error and they run 56 !!! hahahahaha, I heard otr jb hunt drivers having to drive 700 miles within 3 to 4 days.Good luck !!!
