My Experience with Swift Transportation begining 1/8/13

i will be with a trainer only for a week i think or so and i live in paso robles ca

 

so you should have no problem going flatbed they will probably base you out of phoenix just let them know at orientation you want flatbed tell the fleet manager if all else fails call phoenix and tell them. If only going with a trainer for 50-100 hours you want to make sure your mentor is a flatbed driver so you dont have to go out with another mentor. you will also have to do load securement classes in phoenix

 

that target account is the one to get on make sure you give the terminal manager at target your info and you should be able to get on the account if they need drivers when you get out of training. You would be able to go home every night if you live that close to the terminal. and you would get paid more than being an otr driver when i left target was paying $.39 on all mt and loaded miles and they are actual miles. its coming that time of the year when they get another rush of loads and if you dont get on right away keep trying especially around thanksgiving. Do you know who your trainer is?

 

i asked too since me mentor said they make good miles and money. dm said i had to wait six months and have no service failures

 

I guess ill be more precise whats his name i used to be a mentor over there and know most of them guys just wondering if it was the same ones still there my truck stayed there as well 120336

 

if yall havea minute, does swift have auto or 10 speeds, idle or apu/ bunk heater, whats there rider policy as far as age goes (have a young son), do they have regional around the PA area, i heard that they get knocked on pretty bad so i wont judge just yet

 

they have some autos but mostly eaton 9 speeds, they have some apu's but those trucks are mostly in phoenix otherwise they have bunk heaters and idle for a/c, not sure on rider policy, and they do have north east regional and a terminal in jonestown, pa
