Swift team flatbed

Might better work for a 1099 company for 50cpm solo on dry van

 

Honestly, since your dad already works for Swift, he should be able to get this answer with one phone call. Actually he should already know it.

Ahh ... my bad. I got the impression from the other thread that your dad already worked for Swift.

In that case, bag the flatbed idea. You should easily pull 5K miles running dry van or reefer and 6k is realistic. At it's core Swift is dry van company and that's where the freight is.

I ran team dry van for month with friend when I started here, to get my time in to qualify for a lease. We averaged 6K a week.

 

Can't answer that specifically about Swift. There's team outfits that pay more, but you need a cdl already.
Get your obligation completed with Swift, then move on to a company like Old Dominion where teams can make up to $225K split. With corporate approval, Old Dominion can hire new cdl grads.
Probably do as well teaming with Estes Express also, but need 12 mos experience there.
TWT Refrigerated Service pays teams .60 cpm split and all you need is the cdl school diploma and no experience other than that.

 

They all get raises ... Besides with you and your dad both being rookies, keep it simple.

I ran reefer for 9 months with my son ... wouldn't trade the experience for the world ... and wouldn't do it again.
