    I'm wanting some information about Swift as a newbie. Want to drive SE Regional or OTR and want to know some opportunities and information in the North Carolina area.

    'Their' school is probably as good as any, if not better.
    They will train you to drive how they want you to drive for them. Not a bad thing, as they put safety first.

    ditto....just remember, the school will teach you enough to past the state test. the real lessons will start with the mentor.

    Do your research on them and continue looking elsewhere... Swift is a garbage company. Of course there's one driver here and there that are doing ok there but overall, they don't pay ####, low wage, etc etc.

    It's never... ever ever... a good idea to go with a mega.

    I'm doing just fine With Swift after 4 years with them.
    So are thousands that have 2-3 times as much time.

    Much more than one or two, here and there.

    "they don't pay ####, low wage, etc etc."
    You are repeating yourself, more than once.
    That is a sign of an unfocused mind, or worse.

    I feel sorry for you.
    Soon you'll be babbling only to yourself.

    Did you work for Swift and were a loser who couldn't make it happen or just another troll spouting the same ole BS about something you only know from hearsay??

    @Moosetek13
    And here comes an ol' Swift driver to save the day..

    Lol. I was side tracked while typing my reply. That's definitely redundant. Either way you put it... it has the advantage of being true. Your little .33-40cpm might be "just fine" for you but the next guy couldn't buy a pot to piss in with that..

    Babbling to myself? No... too young for that but you're just about there.

    @HousTank
    A loser that couldn't make it in Swift..? Quite laughable. To me, currently working there already has that title. (of course, there's always exceptions to that)
    Nope, no hearsay here. Have a couple'a friends who worked for them and yeah, they're doing much better now.

    Keep on trucking, gentlemen.
