    Im serious looking into.this type of run for swift. Does anybody have any info on it? Avg run, etc. Also if you could give me a decent ball park on what to expect on making weekly on this type of driving. I live on the eastside of indianapolis and will be out of the gary terminal if that helps. Also the recruiter said it is a 450 mile radius that you will be running. True or false? Also said home every week. Im guessing for the 34 restart. Is that true for the most part on this type of driving. Thank you in advance

    I was on a simular fleet in Pac NW. This was a dedicated fleet supporting Costco, but we were running heavy trailers and trucks (105,500 lbs). I came home every Friday or Saturday, sat for a 34 and took off either Sunday night or Monday morn.

    Now I did do a short stint with Swift IMOD up here, but it was all local work on an hourly pay scale. LOOOVVVVVVVVED it, but the DM overhired for her loads and I ended up getting 25-40 hrs a week. Every load was under 35k lbs... so easy to run.:biggrin_255::biggrin_255:
