Hey...been a while. I was thinking of contacting quite a few different companies in search of returning. I don't remember everyone so much as before, so not sure who to ask, and perhaps it would be best for a recruiter to answer anyhow. Does anyone know if Swift has something dedicated out of Spokane WA and it's closest terminal in Lewiston to surrounding areas and back, like a super flexible, pseudo-local driver?
I have two dogs that grew up on a truck with me. With that being said, I'm not so sure if they could accommodate me with an older truck to keep us together, anyways. I am a former employee & contractor who left on rehire status per my DM.
NW local or dedicated with Swift?

Swift has the Walmart account in Grandview WA. A good friend ran her truck on that account for many years and was satisfied. You won't be home every night, but you would be home weekly at least.
Muttsley and NoBluffBuff Thank this. -
I remember Walmart loads, as I did surge for a couple weeks in Loveland, pretty easy gig. I turned down the Grandview position because they couldn't get close to the regular Swift pay rate as a lease driver, the numbers didn't seem right. I would do it as a company driver though.
Thanks! I may ask them about it when I interview the recruiter. -
NoBluffBuff Thanks this.

Wilson is advertising all over Craigslist looking for NW regional heavy haul drivers (refer). Start 50 cpm, home weekends. Don't know much about the position other than what I stated.
Bluedew and NoBluffBuff Thank this. -

I think its a Wilson/Palmer thing. Don't believe Prime has anything to do with it. But, not enough personal knowledge to advise.
NoBluffBuff Thanks this. -

They also mentioned something new to me. You are required/forced home time, no more than 5 weeks out. I asked what would happen if a zealous driver encroached on that 5 week policy, if he could continue rolling "towards home," and the recruiter didn't really have an answer. -
You should be able to take home time wherever you want. If they try to force you, take a couple days at wherever you might interesting.
Did you pick up that green alien hitchhiker at Area 51 in NV?
It's a great place to find aliens.
