    They do not hire good drivers, from my experience anyways. And my dad had two or three Swift truckers back into his truck at truck stops, then get mad at my dad for not moving his truck. From my experience, Swift trucking is no good, unless you cannot drive, then they may be the company for you.

    Haha. No, he was a driver for 20 years until he passed away. He used to get so angry because it seemed like he was the only one that ever got that problem. People at his job used to crack jokes to him about it all the time. trust me

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that "maybe" your dad has parking issues>maybe he isn't always legally parked between the lines.


    As was mentioned they will hire you Gandy so don't be so hard on your future employer.

    I was with him one time, and we were parked good. I cannot speak for the other times. And I do not live anywhere near a Swift facility anyways. I probably wont be applying there sir.

    He worked for the same company for all those years he drove, I think that if they thought that he was at fault for the accident, they probably would have gotten rid of him. Probably. Just an educated guess.

    I wonder if the problem with Swift is that they are just a sorry company or is it that they just hire sorry drivers?

    Thats true,very true infact but it can be that swift only hires people without any experience.
