I'm at a year with Swift, about a year and a half total, thinking the same thing, and having the same doubts. My experience with Swift has been decent and I like dry vans. My issues are no big deal; they are the same issues in every company, and DM's have been good. With a clean record, quarterly bonuses make the pay less of an issue. I'm also considering being a trainer when I feel I've got enough experience. I don't like job hopping, but there are companies that pay 2-4 cents more with comparable benefits and some have out 6 days home 1-2. I did Walmart dedicated (all reefer) for a few weeks to help out during the holidays, and even though I got home home most nights, the money was terrible and I did way too much work for free. I was relieved to get back on the road. I'm on the fence.

No one is making $1000 per week. I guarentee it. You might hit that a couple times out of each year but not always. Oh, and somebody mentioned cardinal logistics on here. Well....lol..good luck with that. As a temp agency driver I drove for cardinal for a few months. Horrible. The pay IS there. I was at about $700 a week average. Their main account is autozone. About 90% of their business. 5-6 stores a night. Pulling a 53, with a sleeper cab, delivering inside shopping centers with no loading dock, using a lift gate and s run down beat up electric jack that looses its charge in the middle of your route. Trucks are old internationals with 500, 000k miles on em. Good luck!Prostar_Central Thanks this. -
