    I echo what Blue said. I have been at Swift for quite awhile now, and am very happy where I am at. Work hard, do a good job, and good things will happen for you!

    If you really feel the need to post this stuff, at least come up with something original, the old tired ones that you just posted have been worn out over the at least 10 years I have been hearing them. Come on, I know you can do it!

    I have been with swift for 3 months and what I hate is dealing with weekend and night planners and dispatchers. They don't know what is going on and don't have the authority to do anything. It's not the people's fault it's the way stuff happens. I tried my hardest to get pre planned for over the weekends. It makes your life easier. The one I like is

    I'll give you a pass since you are still new. It is still an old one though. The best one I have heard is

    Shut up
    While
    I
    Finish
    Talking

    Working for Swift is what you make of it. Good attitude and work hard, things will go your way (Not guaranteed, but better chance than an awful attitude and laziness) I'm on a dedicated account and loving it. Make 37 cents a mile, which is better than OTR. Which starts at 26 cents. So my advise, try it. Like it? Great! Jump on a dedicated account when you first start. More pay. More at home time.
