Well, If things go for me as planned, I hope to start with SWIFT and getting my cdl at their academy (in Millington,TN I presume), sometime in Feb/Mar 2011.
I have read posts in the SWIFT forum, but to get a more current feel of the company from a driver's perspective, I am asking all you current or recent company drivers what in your opinions are the Pro's of working at Swift, and the Cons? What you like about them, what you can't stand about them, or wish they would change.
Also, since SWIFT doesn't allow invertors, how do you get around that and what do you do for cooking, cold food storage, electronic/tv toys, and such. I am sure most are 12 volt gear, and if so, your recommendations for what you have found as most durable or performance.
I'd like to know what I can expect (pro and con remember?) about both the cdl program and as a company driver. Try to keep the comments and or criticism professional. If you are going to tell me: "Dude, Swift sucks!", at least tell me in a constructive manner why you think they "suck." Feel free to PM me with your uncensored comments.
I appreciate all comments and say "thank you" in advance.

I haven't drove for them recently but I did go through their school and drove for them years back and recently received a letter in mail sayn that I needed to retest for everything. Not sure exactly what swift was doing but my guess is...they passed students and gave out license whether they knew how to drive or not. I wouldn't suggest their school but I guess driving with them is ok. They did give me a real nice volvo to start out. But that was then...not sure how things are going these days with that school or company. Just my bad experience.

Yes I am, letter stated because I was issued license from that third party testing company, I need to retest for general know, combination, air brakes and road test. Failure to do so by their date, they would downgrade my license to class D.
