Average pay

$250 a week at Swift, while on the truck with trainer.

 

Unless it has changed within the past 18 months. That's what you will get PRE taxes. Thats ON THE TRUCK pay. If you're going to their "school". I would ask about those details. I don't recall what happens there.

It's going to be tough, no doubt. The last student I trained that came from Swift. Showed me his pay deposit, $48.00 after advances and taxes taken out. We just happen to get by his house for a couple of days off. His wife was in tears. They were being evicted from their home.

They had 4 kids from ages 2-15.

 

are these last resort options for you? have you tried TWC (texas workforce) they have a grant program that pays for school. have you called other schools. I am going to roadmaster in san antonio next monday. my credit is horrible but i was able to put down like $1500 and that included my hotel. I was going to go with c1 but your only otions would be usa truck and pam. not very good companies from what i read. I have got a pre-hire letter from tmc and will be going there when out of school. i think training pay is $350 and home weekends. good luck and i hope this has helped you.

 

Swift if I remember right
week 1-2 $350 per week
week 3-4 $400 maybe $450? it's been a while
weeks 5-6 $500 per week.
Then $500 bonus when you pull your first solo load.

 

Where'd you get your figures?

 

From 3 individual students who bailed on Swift, and came over to CFI. Of which I trained 2. This was about 18 months ago.

 

That is correct. Atleast it was about 5 months ago.

 

It's been almost two years since I trained with Swift, so I wasn't sure if that was correct or not. My memory sucks half the time, as does Swift.
