Swift has the Walmart account in Grandview WA. A good friend ran her truck on that account for many years and was satisfied. You won't be home...
Swift runs dedicated out of the Walmarts in Arcadia and Winterhaven.
Just as well, since we're quite slow right now. My husband's at home with hours but no load tonight. There are trucks parked everywhere and my...
Most Swift loads coming in are drop and hook, and we nearly always have a few good empties sitting around. And, if you like, they could put you on...
Welcome to Albuquerque. I used to work in the shop there, until May of this year when I transferred to Los Lunas. (Mostly) good people in ABQ....
That is part of it, yes. We have lost a lot of techs via layoffs and attrition. But there is more to the story. Earlier this year, the shop...
Depends on the account. Some do, some don't.
I know of one in the Phoenix area, as well.
Integrity. Do you wish to have it or not? After all this is over, you are the one who has to sleep with your actions.
For a brief period of time, I had a supervisor who gave out $50 bonuses for a five star review if we were mentioned by name. (I got 2 of them...
I have seen severely cracked drums, so a drum that breaks so completely as to fall off is not outside the realm of possibility. It's the missing...

I started with Swift the first time in 2007 at the Jonestown, PA terminal, and I was not asked to perform a pretrip at orientation. I returned to...
Try to get on a Walmart dedicated account. Some of them are so busy they will take an OTR driver for a few weeks, or even on a more permanent...
Yep, I'm sure a lot of drivers see a 10XXXX trailer and assume it's a 2010 model. But think about this- a 2010 model year trailer would have come...
I'm not 100% sure about this, but it's possible the VIN plate had been damaged and was replaced in 2014. It is required that the VIN is legible on...
Swift is selling anything 2001 or older. The old 54XXXX (except 547XXX and 548XXX) trailers are being kept road legal, but that's about it. They...
It can be a vacation at times, but the job comes first. You will drive where and when they tell you to, unlike a vacation. There will be days off,...
Same here. I miss the office view. I miss not having co-workers. I miss not having a boss looking over my shoulder. ***BUT*** I don't miss...
Not that I am aware of, but as I've said before- I'm a trailer tech, not a truck tech. There's a lot about the truck side that I don't know. They...
