LOL I thought you would say something like that.

Seriously though, I don't think I'll have any major problems working with swift. If I do then I'll just go work for someone else and pay off the loan. I gotta pay it back anyway. They take like $75/wk for one year which is exactly $3900. If I stay with them for longer than a year then they start giving you back the $75/wk (from what I understand).

If something really goes wrong then I'll just get them paid off.

To clear somthing up has of 01-13-08 the 500$ bonus for first dispatch was done away with. But training pay was raised.
1-2 = 400$ up from 300
3-4 = 450$ up from 400
5-6 = 500$ same

In short its +300$ in pay but less 200$ from the bonus.

The myth of the $500 bonus & Training Pay
LOL.

I appreciate your concern for my wallet (seriously I do). I could have been lied to by 5 people - it could happen. I'm not even banking on what the recruiter told me b/c they will say anything. My neighbor is a Swift driver, my best friend (we go back to 2nd grade) drives for Swift. I know 2 of their friends that drive for Swift. I have had conversations with all of them and they have all been with the company for about 2 years. If they did lie to me then I'll just leave them off my Christmas list


Heck I would actually rather have more training pay instead of the bonus anyway...
