Starting Swift Training Academy in Phoenix

Truckergsch, sorry that happened to you. But maybe you were trying to reply to another post because your reply has absolutely nothing in common with my reply to Tmax..thanks

 

You will not average $500 or even $700 with Swift the first six months. You are looking at $300 to $450. Remember they take out your schooling and lodging once you go solo. Just do the math at 25 cents a mile.

You will not hold a average of 2500 miles a week either. If something should go wrong with your truck be prepared to wait and wait and wait. Sometimes they do get you out fast but just don't plan on it.

So expect to not make much money at all your first year and you won't be dissapointed.

 

i dont have a problem with going thru the whole school thing because that would be a good thing-if anyone decides to do flatbed do they have to wait at home for a mentor for those 1 or 2 months or put on the waiting list and doing vans?also how many cent per mile raises do you get in the first year 3?thanks for all the info man and good luck.

 

I thought they forgive your debt after 1 year. Then the second year they start paying you back. I may be confused, I've looked at so many companies lately they're starting to run together.

 

# tmax156 I think there is a misunderstanding. Fleetowner33 was talking as a owner not as an employee. Plus we are talking about Swift. I am going to them next Monday. He stated " Employees have no idea or either don't care about what their employer has invested in just to supply a job to make money for themselves and for the worker to make a living. " Employee's do care and are grateful they get the job. What they are not grateful for is the employer who lies to them , who dont pay them for their work, who pays them 3rd world wages. I hope the best for you and write down all they tell you and let me know how much came true. What did they say you can make a year? Didn't one guy say " average take home was about 530.00 weekly but that was running like a chicken with my head cut off." add it up.
