Ive been makin about 450, before taxes, a week, and the first truck I got from swift broke down after 700 miles. Clutch linkage broke. Then the tow truck broke down towing me to the terminal. The second truck I got the air pump wasn't pumping all that great and the mechanic said it was fine even tho it took a few minutes to go from 20 to 45 psi. There after 1000 miles after picking up the second truck, that was supposed to be new driver ready, I had to take it into the shop for a B-Service that ended up taking all day. Swift blows goats!!!

That's about par for the course. You still have some growing pains to endure but it does get better. You can expect maybe $100 more than what you're making now on average with the pay increases and the learning curve getting smaller. You'll have some really good weeks and some really crappy weeks, that's just the way it goes.
I posted my actual logs on here ( much to the disdain of neat freaks) but it shows how good trip planning and good trips can pay off. The problem is, with the freight levels being crappy for general dry van freight, you can probably expect less than average weeks for a while coming.
Hang in there man, you can do a lot worse than Swift! -

OK...I'm a recent school grad...I did 6 years of OTR work with a vehicle relocation service and discovered I enjoy the lifestyle. But, from my previous career in Hospitality (BA Metro State of Denver + 20 years) I know that there are always problems. My question is options. Should I commit to Swft or consider other offers. I'm looking at PAM too...
