    I work for swift and so far I am very pleased. I just finished my training and what I have noticed so far is that everyone in the terminals are very nice and helpfull. For a teaching company I am glad that I picked swift. They have the freight also! ! ! I do NOT sit still, which is what we all want. I mock others when I say, if I have to be away from home I want my tires spinning, making money, and so far, if im not driving its because im out of hours on my log.

    Hoped this helped
