    Makes perfect sense. Swift wants people who have been trained to not question orders. Do as you're told driver.

    Swift wants the bonus for hiring veterans . These carriers and CDL mills don't care who they exploit and put further in debt . Bonuses for hiring veterans should be paid in 4 quarterly payments with proof the veteran is still working there required to be provided each quarter .

    Swift thinks it's better to hire veterans who are going to follow orders and be more disciplined than the average joe, veterans have a tendency to tolerate more bs without complaining.

    At least with most of the veterans they won't have to go into debt since the military does train a lot of truck drivers but I sure wouldn't get out before my 20 was up to drive for swift or any otr company.
