Pick your own loads off a load board at Schneider or landstar. Never lease and not have real control over your revenue.

They can't help it....for some reason when they see swift L/O they must speak I belive the trucking God commands it.........

There are plenty of topics on here that are recent as far as L/O and you can get much information from them. There is one thing that I am not sure if still the same or changed. Unless you have a down payment then you have to start as a Company driver and average at least 2500 miles per week for 4 weeks before you can get into a lease. If you are running a dedicated account that you do not get those miles then you might have a problem.
Bettsexpress Thanks this. -

There are some here in the Swift thread from us that are l/o and for more than a few years. Mystic, myself and Steve just to name a few

It's probably gotten harder these days to run L/O with swift, compared to yesteryears. I've been doing it 2 years now. I will be first to admit, it makes you a glorified company driver. Better Schneider or Landstar as mentioned above.

I paid off my truck with swift in 2012 left in 2013 to go run for a local company .a year and a half later I decide to move south and cant find anything stable to bring in similar income and start having problems with the truck. so I decide to sell it because it needs some repair that I couldn't fix and didn't want it to stop running and I cant get anything for it. I called swift leasing company to inquire about coming back as an o/o and they say yes and I don't have to put down a down payment because I already pay off a truck with them
