    Ive seen some nice studio sleeper 660s at swift but werner used to have longnose petes,kws and freightshakers. In my opion, i would take a w900l over most trucks. I call a long nose and frame nice!

    They both BUY decent new trucks and both have DONKEYS driving for them that AGE them real fast.

    I saw a post on here once from a rookie who described his trainers truck with having 750k miles on it. That was a Swift guy. That's a lot of miles on a company truck, and even more for a TRAINER's truck. That being said, Werner seems to have a lot of variety in their fleet, having Pete's,KW's, freightliner, etc.

    You also need to look at the little things,like inverters (swift doesn't allow I don't think, not too sure about Werner).

    In summary, I think they BOTH suck. The trick is finding out which one sucks a little less than the other. Good luck with that.
     
    GoneButNotForgotten Thanks this.

    swift has freighliners,kenworths,and prostars. trade them in within 500000 miles or 5 years. but yes, simce they both hire alot of new drivers, newbies beat them up pretty much. my first truck i got had all corners banged up, previous drivers must thought they were in a pin ball game lol
