If you do not mind being a number more than a person.
You will find this basic mindset at any of the mega carriers though unless you luck out and get an outstanding fleet manager.

Depends who you ask. Some love working for them, others don't. It seems the majority of folks that post negative things here have never worked for them and post out of nothing but hearsay. Better if you ask some Swift drivers in your area. I think your question will create more debate than a usefull answer.

i see some swift drivers in my area.i tell them i worked there and they say "im sorry!" its good experience.you dont have to unload those trailers most times.after you live in their truck for a year or two you get burned out and give two weeks notice.thats why they are always hiring.other companies might pay better. some people switch companies pretty often.were to old for that ltl freight lumping job probably

I work for Swift and started with them soley for the experience so I can get a local driving job. I didn't expect good pay or to really be anything more than a cog in the machine. my expectations were met on all levels.
there are some nice people at Swift, and they emphasize safety. despite some aggravations i'm glad I went with them. but I won't be with them in a year.

swift
lol well lets see on shows like survivor and amazing race you always have to have the villians that you love to hate. Why should trucking be any differen't. Companies like Swift and Cr England just plain suck..... if it wasn't for companies like those two we would need to find others to just hate..... just my two cents..... :wink:
