Swift Flatbed Division... ?!

Just trying to help, I was planing to work for swift for 2 years to get there driver school for free, I glad I found Melton,Its a much better company

 

Swift would take u back If Melton does workout,I graduated swift academy aug 22, There still calling me to work for them, Ive been with Melton 6 weeks-8 day oreintion, 21 day otr with trainer,and 10 otr solo, im currently on my first hometime.If u have any questions about Melton training or whatever just ask.Ps I got first a week ago it a 2016 kenworth 680 with less then 100,000 miles, compare that to a swift truck for a newbie with no experience.

 

Melton does Hair follicle drug test ,so if u have done drugs in the past year ,then stick with swift

 

@RedRover what was your felony for?

 

Most companies wouldnt care about a felony that old. U should put ur aplication in at every company. Ps I have a terrible driving record.guess what moving violations are cleared after 3 full years and Duis are clear after 5, guess how i know. Look this is what i did, apply with prime truck co. , they will run a background check called Tenstreet. When they ask for permission to do this,asked for copy to be emailed to u. When u get it look it over,it will show whatever is on ur record.

 

If Tenstreet doesnt show it then dont mention it

 

i bet my driving background is more colorful then anybody on this forum.

 

I dunno, there's been some doozy's pass thru here.

 

Spoke to you in the other forum. I can answer some of that. I just transfered over from Reefer to FB. My securement course is going to be the week of the 17th in Phoenix, it is paid . Don't know what starting pay is. It caps out at .52 now (Think that's for 5+ years.)

They claim the average run length is 790miles. Alot of people I've spoken with back that up. I don't know how it works for new drivers, I just had to be cleared by the head of saftey at flatbed and take the course, and switch trucks.

Which as far as I know all new trucks are Cascades evos, and they will either be DD15 with DT 12 AMT. Or Cummins ISX 15 with Ultrashift +. Or either engine with a standard EatonF 10speed. 163XXX (truck number) Cascadias and up have been getting 1800watt inverters. Unless they stopped putting those in. Some of the Cascadias are Midroof, but most of them I have seen lately are all full condo sleeper. Usually one or two storage boxes on each side of the frame, and the headache racks mostly all have 3 doors on them to store stuff.

Older trucks could be anything. SWIFT has been putting old and new lease trucks back in the company fleet for awhile now. I got one of the T680s on the Reefer side.

My 160xxx T680 has a 300watt. And as of about the middle of the year all trucks have cameras, they are just now getting to the last few that didn't.
