Considering he left for a local job that gets him home every night and off on weekends that pays about 90% of what he was making with Swift every...
Alright, just got off the phone with him. He turned in his gear and has a receipt for it. He also had them sign off on his truck when he left it....
That I don't know for sure. I'll ask him. Since we ran the same account I can pretty much attest to the fact it wasn't truck damage. His truck was...
Wes, I had a buddy just quit from Swift and he was on his 11th month with the company, I believe. So, he still had a little more of his school...
Wes, After reading the thread I've compiled the info you said I should get together. Now, who in the corporate offices do I need to contact and...
Like I said, I've worked with Swift for a year and I constantly say good things about the company on these boards. However, I have never gotten a...
Start with Chris A. in Gary, IN, please. He has asked me to run illegal several times. Along with several other drivers who I can provide names...
That is a downright lie right there. I've worked with Swift for over a year and I have been delayed at AK Steel in Middletown and other places for...
I'd agree that the Memphis Academy was a joke and it has definitely been the worst part of Swift so far in my experience. However, they have put...
Swift pays on a weekly basis. Wednesday is the cut off for checks and you are paid the following Tuesday. I'd have to look back through my pay...
Academy is the 3-week training/school you attend where you get your CDL and all of that. It's the longest portion of the whole ordeal....
Also, the meals they provide during orientation aren't the best. However, it's free so I guess it's better than nothing. During flatbed training...
Well, I don't have "recent" experience but I can answer the questions for my experience which was, ehhh, 16 months ago or so? During academy, you...
Figured I'd update everyone on this. I got a written letter and call from my Safety Coordinator this week absolving me of all responsibility for...
You know what's funny? This guy hung around to compile a resume like that with Swift and meanwhile, here I am with a perfect record and they rake...
Nah, I have a Volvo. They're a little on the small side but I'm only in the thing 4.5 days a week. I'm more concerned with the ride and noise...
You can believe what you wish, amigo. I can't prevent you from doing that. However, I most certainly told them I wanted a mid-roof truck because I...
I have a mid-roof truck. A lot of the flatbed trucks are condos. I specifically requested a mid-roof and they purchased one for me that I had to...
Depends on the load. If you have trucks/cars that you drive on and off your trailer then yes... you can load and unload. You'll never unload or...
I think _all_ truckers will tell you that 600 miles every single day is a pipe dream. I'm planned 3-4 days in advance with stacked pickups and...
