Forget the tiny armrests and the privacy curtains that are too short to close properly....the LT is a nice looking truck. lol. I was happy to get...
Same. They just seem lower quality, feel bigger, and don't turn very sharply. I had a few newer LT's, but would rather have an older...
It's the typical insecure trucker response. "They are desperate they will hire you". Are you not smart enough to judge drivers individually? Or...
Well I appreciate you making my point about how the most ignorant class of humans in this business feel about Swift.
Oops...got you guys confused. But thanks for responses.
I think they know a little bit about the hiring practices of other companies, or at least they should. But good to hear your success story and...
Trucking is full of people incapable of critical thinking and non-generalization. I suspected Walmart would be rational enough to judge a driver...
Good to hear that! Seems like Swift would be great training for Walmart with us constantly in their facilities and even doing store loads...
Coming up on 30 months OTR with Swift. Have had no accidents, incidents, tickets, service failures or late deliveries. I know most of the...
Got my Smartdrive cam installed a couple weeks ago and the only difference that affects me is following distance. You have to take action sooner,...
That's pretty good money with the low pressure trucking lifestyle. For comparison sake, I made 45k last year at Swift driving basically in the...
Yep...i guess the rules are 4 days max time off, or clean out the truck. And it's always a crap shoot with getting in a truck on return to work....
I took mine 2 weeks at a time and I would guess it's easier to arrange it for OTR drivers, where you're not gonna be missed as much. As always,...
After 6 months of employment, you can take 30 days personal leave per calendar year, unpaid. For many drivers, myself included, this is a big...
Hi Six9GS...nice thread to detail your training experiences. I went through the Swift Academy in Corsicana a year ago and am still driving OTR...
Gotta be tough running reefer loads and their appt. times with electronic logs. Conversly, you're not being pushed to backlog and drive 16-18 hrs...
LOL @ drivers making a nuisance of themselves and then blaming the company for getting crap loads and being passed over for sweet dedicated accounts.
Swift isn't what it used to be. Trucks run 65mph and pay is competitive now. They have plenty of freight and get me home on time. Sounds like...
Hi SeniorTacos....I recently went through the Swift Academy (Corsicana), mentorship program, and have been solo 3 months. I'm a former driver but...
Swift OTR allows you to stay out 12 days and take 2 full days off. So 11 nights on the road and 3 nights at home. That's about as good as it...
