I DRIVE FOR SWIFT ARE THERE ANY COMPANIES WITH SLOWER TRUCKS

That's seems like terrible, terrible company to drive for.Swift drivers must feel pretty stupid when they drive for instance in ND?

 

This forum..I tell ya. One min you're all saying Swift is the worst (they are so no debate there ) and then Werner or Western Express. I mean they can't all be the same? or am I missing something?

What's Western Express' trucks gov'ed at?

 

Swift treats overspeed like you're going 100 mph they want drivers to remain 62 mph at all times why not govern the trks at 57 then they'll for sure get their wish.if swift really needed the drivers they would change tbeir policy. Once upon a time swift was set at 65 and no over speed warnings.

 

Now they have driver cams too. Which mega carrier did you start out with pattyj?

 

There's absolutely no privacy anymore is there with megas I started with Werner.miles were bad but back then the drivers weren't put on a short leash like they are now.

 

Any thoughts on Western Express?

 

From the many posts on them they're worse then swift.I would be asking the recruiter what strict policies they have and what kind of warnings are there if you brake a policy.recruiters sure won't volunteer any info.

 

I'm Loving It, Swift recruits trainee from drive thru window ......

 

Companies also get cheaper insurance rates by having the trucks governed to a slower speed. Especially training companies.

 

That makes since and understandable.they may get cheaper insurance for cameras as well.but warning and firing drivers for a few miles over speed is in my opinion over the top considering the trucks are already slower then molasses.
