    I didn't even know Swift still ran reefers? But like every other mega carrier, I am sure their drives get paid weekly. My advise would be to look into smaller reefer operations where you can make some real money.

    I'm just taking a random guess at this but I think Swift's reefer division is mainly dedicated to Costco DC's.

    if you are thinking of swift then you are clearly aint think i wont drive for swift even if they gave me a truck i have drove alot of miles in my time and by far swift is the worst company out their i have never met a single person from swift that was even close to happy with them so i called then to just to see what they had to throgh on the table and i just laugh and hung up the phone .25 cents pr mile:biggrin_2559: thats like being on welfair hehehehehehe i would rather be on welfair then work for that sorry peice of #### company good luck to ya .... but if you want to run reefer call prime inc got all the miles you want at .34 cents pr mile or lease you can make money with also!!!!!

    One of my instructor's in school drove for Swift in the flatbed div and said he loved it, FWIW.

    You can do better if you still have your CDL. I guarantee you a o/o with a few trucks would give you a chance to prove yourself providing the insurance accepts you.
