2024 Swift Load Board

I wouldn't hold my breath ... they've been promising a load board for almost 3 years.

Frankly I don't believe Knight has any intention of ever delivering a load board. As it is right now Swift is dumping a lot of freight out on the power only spot market.

Swift had pretty good O/O program with access to a broker, where you could negotiate your own rates. Knight killed it they day they took over ... it was the major driving factor why I left Swift.

 

Load board is now active on swift. O/O only access. I’m company so I don’t have access just letting you know it is up

 

It went active April 3rd. Now o/o getting all of the freight. What is left over is going to shuttle. Other company drivers are sitting for days.

 

I remember those days at swift , sitting for days. Then when your about to go to bed at about 10:30 pm you get a load and it’s a hot load so drive all night and all next morning and it really screws up your body clock. Ah those days at swift.

 

Yup. You've had 10 hours off and should be ready to work. What's the problem?

I put an end to that very early in my career with Swift.
I simply refused to do it, as it was unsafe to be driving all night after being up all day waiting for a load.
The trick is to know how to say no, and stick with it. They can not force you to drive.

One of the reasons I have stayed with Swift as long as I have is because I have so much control over the loads I run.
Control that, by the way, Swift grants us with the wonderful mac 9.
1. Accept the load. 2. Refuse the load (with a stated and valid reason). 3. Counter the times on the load, and hope for the outcome you desire.
Every option gives me some degree of control.

 

I’m glad your in control of your life. To many newbies don’t know you can turn down loads just because I’m turning down this load. More power to you. I worked for Swift twice. I’m with a great company now. All is well life is good. Load offers happen Monday through Friday 8 - 5 and If there is ever A live it’s also sometime between M-F 8 to 5.

 

Too many newbies don't know because their mentor never told them, and/or their DM is pushing them, and/or they are too dim to figure it out.

I consider Swift a great company, mainly because of the people I have worked with.
My DM's have always watched my back and supported me all the way. I guess I have a charmed life.

 

Congratulations more power to you. Keep on trucking.
