Swift Flatbed, 11 western states and Phoenix CDL training?

It will take you a couple months or so to learn the system and how to maximize your miles, maximize your HOS, and build trust with the planners. Once you get in the groove you will gross 1000-1200 per week sometimes more sometimes less. Under the new pay scale $60,000 per year is not a problem.

Running the western states you won't be putting in home time requests unless you need to be home on a specific date. You will be running to and through phoenix on a weekly or bimonthly basis and will be able to go home when you're there.

There is another option for you called the CMC fleet. It is actually run by a member of this forum schmud0811. His name is tom. It is a dedicated swift flatbed fleet hauling rebar out of CMC. It is only open to phoenix drivers and I believe you need 6 months of flatbed exp to qualify. You will be home every weekend usually on this fleet.

 

Well wickenburg is only like an hour from the terminal if I remember correctly. So you would park your truck at the terminal and just drive home. Or if you don't have a car you would take your bobtail home.

Also make sure you re read my last post I edited in information about the CMC fleet that might work out for you.

 

really do they supply lanyards ..........lol......had to

 

Yep load out of cmc in mesa. Then go to job sites in az, ca, nm, ut. Mainly ca though. Then pick up a back haul usually lumber or scrap steel and go back to the phx area. Usually you will leave Monday and be back on Friday.

 

Roehl is bottom tier from what I've seen as far as pay, equipment, etc. the good thing about them is their 7-7 and 14-7 home time options but those aren't available out west. And money would be really tight. If Swift doesn't work out for you I'd check out System transport instead of roehl.
