    I am thinking about heading back otr and driving teams with a friend who is going to get their CDL. Question is this. How are the team miles at Swift? And are the miles consistent? I would with my experience prefer to go else where. But, my would be co-d river has her heart set on Swift. So I would like to hear from any teams that currently work for Swift or any former teams that would have personal knowledge. Thanks.

    Look at some coast-to-coast companies that will hire her and team her with you.
    Ask her why she is sold on one particular company when she doesn't even have a CDL yet.

    Here's some pretty good team outfits:

    Watkins & Shepard
    WLA Inc.
    Cooke Trucking Co.
    SVTN
    CTL Transportation
    Schneider Bulk
    Benny Whitehead Trucking
    Tyson Foods

    Swift has the miles. The big question is if your driver leader and the planners are willing to put the work in to get you those miles.

    Work with them and get on their good side. That way, when the JIT cross country run comes up, you may well get it.

    Also, the weekend FedEx runs are gold.

    My teammate and I got on a dedicated route, and we were consistent. Hopefully you get a good DM that'll take good care of you.
