Hey
Have been reading this forum for a few days now. After reading on here it seems every company is horrible
I went to C.R England to work and go through there CDL school. While at the school i was finding out that they pretty much force you into the lease program. So after i got my CDL i left.
Now i called swift and I'm supposed to start this Monday .
this is what the recruiter told me
I will start Monday . Have 3 days of orientation. Then go out with a trainer for 6 weeks OTR.
I am told that i will be paid $350 for the first 2 weeks , $400 for weeks 3-4 , $500 for weeks 5-6.
After training I will be assigned a truck. And the pay after
$.26 CPM for the first 6 months
$.33 CPM from 6 months on
$.35 CPM after 1 year of staying
My recruiter stated i will get 2800-3000 miles per week without a problem.
I hope this is true. If so my first 6 months ill make 728-780$ per week
6 months and on $924-$990 per week
after 1 year $980 - $1050 per week.
This seems all great to me. But I'm wondering how true it is .
Also the recruiter told me that the company will pay me $150 per month to cover my school loan, sounds great.
While I'm OTR he says they grantee I'm out 14 home 2 which is fine, and he said after 3 months driving i can be home every weekend. Has anyone experienced that?
Please anyone that works or has worked for swift please reply.
Now i was looking into some other companies like TMC, But not sure if i want to do flatbed.
What company do you recommend for a new student grad?
