Swift info needed please

I think the closest terminal to you will be Greer, SC. If you have a secure location to park the rig you might be able to park at or near home, but be prepared to commute to the terminal in your car if necessary.

For new drivers you will be starting at $0.33 per mile and OTR. Regional or dedicated opportunities are there once you "put your hat in the ring" and prove yourself.

Home time for OTR is anytime after three weeks out, with one day per six days out. If you plan on more than three days home time you need to clean out the truck and be reassigned a new truck. This would mean having to go back to the terminal.

 

wow, slip seating if you want to use more than 3 days of home time even though you earned it in accordance to their home time policy? WOW... Didn't know that about Swift.

 

also they never get you home near the time you want. I would end up fighting to get home and always be like a week later.

 

Honestly it depends on your DM and using this magic word, on the macro 9. "NO" home time is such and such date I will not make my home time on (insert date here).
Its that simple.

 

I wouldn't say NEVER. Much depends on where you live or the location you request for hometime.

I live in Houston and in my 3 years with Swift I have not been late getting home once, often I"m there the day before. I also take hometime in Mobile AL and I've experienced a one day delay a couple times just because it was tougher to get a load into that area.

As Lepton mentioned above 3 days is the general rule for turning the truck in. However that may be modified depending on your home terminal policy and your DM. I have a very good relationship with mine and have been on her board from the start of my time with Swift. Your performance record may also come into consideration as well. In my case I usually stay out 5 weeks, average 3k miles per week with a spotless performance record. I always take 4 days off, a couple of times 5-6 days...and I keep my truck. That's not always the case at all terminals.

 

That all depends on DM and home terminal. I take my truck home but I live 300 miles from Memphis my home terminal. Some have a certain mileage from home terminal to take truck home . last year I took 12 days off for vacation never made me turn in truck. But OP it depends if there is a dedicated spot open to be more regional swift does not have a regional positions per se.

 

I can honestly say what they have posted is true. Swift is among the 30 companies I recruit for and this is all true.

 

Swift has an intermodel drop yard in Charlotte, you could maybe ask about parking there
