Is swift a good company?

well that will be great if my mentor lived in the same city because I live in Orlando and I know it's a terminal in Ocala that's like a hour away not far at all from where I live

 

IMO, to gauge a company as good or bad depends on the individual's experience with said company. One could claim the company as bad due to a single experience while the rest of that individual's experiences may be good.

If you want the best possible experience with Swift, then develop a GOOD relationship with your DM. Prove to him/her you are dependable and ready to take a load no matter the miles. DO NOT turn down loads w/o a good, explainable reason. Turning down loads because they don't offer miles will get you nowhere, period. DO NOT #####, whine, moan at your DM because you are not getting the miles you want. They know this and work very hard to keep you moving. Keep your nose clean, avoid being late, and avoid getting preventables. We all know preventables happen, but do your best to avoid them at all costs.

 

thanks for the input I heard they about to just get rid of paper logs is that true

 

If you are asking about swift. We run qualcomm. No paper logs unless the qualcomm takes a crap and then the paper is back up. Also if you were asking if I was teaming I dont. I dont think I would even train. Also I like being able go bring my son along in the summer

 

well i'm already hired on with swift just waiting to head out for the orientation part........never really liked the paper logs but what 2 expect when I do head to orientation 4 swift

 

I am looking forward to rejoining Swift in the coming months. Getting a DOT exemption for my diabetes and getting a sleep study done before I apply. I want all my bases covered so all I have to do is walk in and start driving. I just hope after 2.5 years of not driving a commercial vehicle, I still remember how to drive one, lol. I am anticipating being rehired by November.

 

you not the only 1 lolz hope I still remember how to drive 1 as well......I started out when I was like 22 or 23 but left due to other things that was going on during that time but I wished that I should have just stayed out

 

1 more thing do they run 10speeds or 9.......

 

They run 8 speeds in company trucks. Uncertain about O/OP trucks.

 

so I take it that 7 automatically goes into 8 or you still have to shift it into 8......hell I think werner was the same but I tested in school with a 10speed Volvo well a few yrs back lolz
