Swift is kind of the new Roadway,, we picked on those guys, but they hauled a lot of freight. Swift too. Bad companies don't last long.
In 2024 why NOT go to swift?

Bud A., TruckDriver87 and Chinatown Thank this.

No thanks. I pay my bills just fine where I am. I'll have to admit, the company I work for, for the last 5 years, has been continually adding all this crap. I just need 2 more years... & I cant wait. Counting the days. However, they still haven't gotten to the Swift stage yet. I suspect, its gonna come before I'm ready to retire. But if it comes to driver facing camera's, I'm out. I'll retire early. So, for Swift or the other mega's, no thanks. Its bad enough where I am. I ain't looking to go deeper.
I'd much rather work for a mom & pop but many times, you cant get the benefits (insurance) with mom & pop companies.
Hopefully I can make it until April 2026.Bud A., Gearjammin' Penguin, TripleSix and 1 other person Thank this. -
Gearjammin' Penguin Thanks this.

Just remember, when people are ragging on Swift, they are letting other carriers rest!
Bud A., 88 Alpha, tscottme and 1 other person Thank this. -
Bud A., silverspur, tscottme and 3 others Thank this.

A lot of folks love to hate on Swift, but they're a massive company, with a lot of trucks to keep running. They don't always hire the right person, doesn't make them a totally crap company.
Doesn't change the fact that they have some good accounts, and a lot of dedicated work.
Worry less about what people think of you, and the company you work for, and more about how you can make yourself happy, and accomplish whatever goals you have. -

In fact reminds me of years ago listening to a JB Hunt driver out in west Texas being asked "What are you doing in that left lane JB?'Last edited: Apr 27, 2024
