Yes but if you are on recap, you only have 8-9 hours to do what you need to do. If you experience any issues with your trip plan you don't have...
This is what's confusing me. You are kind of inferring that doing a 34 is a bad thing. I am not disagreeing with you, as I am new and don't have...
Thanks for the replies. I do prefer doing 10 hour days and taking a 34 when necessary. I guess read some misleading opinions about how 34 hr...
I have been driving for swift for a few months as a new driver. When I was doing my training hours with the trainer I would drive for 10-11 hours...
I actually am marked as a platinum driver. I don't know how that happened though. I thought you had to be employed for a full quarter. I find that...
My outlook is positive, although I have to reach deep down in order to maintain that positivity. I always think 'this is better than being...
Point taken. But they are the people who will take no experience drivers
This post will hopefully reach new drivers or drivers thinking about swift, as well as current swift people. This is my third time if you want to...
Yes the thread went off topic. Oh well. I get the feeling no one really knows where I'm at or what I'm doing most of the time. So I'm just gonna...
It actually makes a lot of sense because most employees hire seasonal workers for Christmas, and then lay them off afterwords, because if Walmart...
I'm still pretty new, but it makes sense why swift has as many drivers as possible. There are probably 20 or more of us here waiting around for a...
If you are not on dispatch, can you drive the truck 30 miles to the next city to go somewhere? I'm curious how this works exactly with swift. I...
i have read other threads about this, but I don't think those methods will work with the swift Qualcomm. So if I go off-duty, and a few hours...
Update: I did get paid an lump sum of money for detention. So that's good of swift. I do not know how they figured how much they gave me.
Yea, haven't been paid anything for the detention as I'm looking at my pay on my website. I will update if I do receive pay for the wait. Assume I...
i keep getting sent loads to accept/reject that have nonsense pickup and delivery times. Usually the pickup time will be before I'm even done with...
UPDATE: I just got these shtty messages on my Qualcomm saying "please set log to on duty when with customer". And "read paid-by-mileage worker...
I tried searching for this info but I couldn't find it. What is the hourly rate for detention pay at a shipper? I understand the first 2 hours...
I have noticed when swift calculates your paid miles, they use the shortest possible route. I am curious how you guys deal with this issue. Here...
Update: I drove it over to the terminal and walked into maintenance and told them my problem. They are going to look at in a bit. I also needed...
