My dad drove for swift its been along time ago but they hauled Alot of steel and Dry Wall,My dad did a little lumber and stone but they had him doing mainly steel and dry wall. they weren't bad to him.He liked it there but they will run you in the ground,they will try to screw you on your tickets like weight if you get one.Dad liked it cause he had a great dispatcher and other office people.Hope that helps.

Swift is a great company. I worked for a friends of theirs in Phoenix, AZ and we used their tractors and trailers alot. They haul almost anything that will fit on a flat bed.

I have no experience with CRST except I am driving one of their old trucks. The man I bought it from just leased his new truck back on with them. He said they have treated him very well...
