    I googled the model of the truck and there are pictures of the interiors of the trucks.

    Swift trucks are probably basic.

    The truck that my hubby now drives has a smaller sleeper than his mentor's was. It really just depends. I am thinking that he once said that his mentor's sleeper had a full size bottom bunk where as the hubby has a single bottom bunk. He did comment that his mentor's sleeper was very roomy and he loves his space in his.

    Hubby has tons and tons of cabinet space. Lots of stand up room. Double bunks, not sure if that is standard for Swift though. Actually for him to be a newbie, he got a darn nice truck (2007). We really expected it to be ragged on the inside and a hunk of junk other wise (maybe a 2005 model if he got lucky), especially since he had to wait on one which meant he took what they gave him. I was taken by surprise at the room in that truck when a took a peek at it. The drivers these days are spoiled with the room in the sleepers.

    Im with roadmedic....we are talking about Swift, prolly very basic but some year models could be made a little different than others. Do a search and look at the basic models.

    Lol, wow, that isnt helpful at all. Just because Swift hires morons doesnt mean I am one, I think that if you do you job and not ##### piss and moan like 90% of the population does while working, itll be a fine place to start your careers. Unless you have a better idea? Also, saying that we never learn is implying that I've employed myself with Swift more than once. =\

    Everyone has to start somewhere, make the most of your opportunities.

    Ah, to be young and naive. One must learn from one's mistakes.

    Back on topic; I got lucky and my first OTR truck was a 379 Pete with a 60" flattop. Unfortunately, I was running with an O/O and he was an ###.

    Starting out in 64" condos... how would it be?

    I've seen Columbia's, Volvo's, and now Prostar Eagle's. They are all specked to be nice inside.

    For the hater's, Swift IS a starter company. They take people that wake up one morning and say" I think I want to drive a truck". Those are the ones that give the company a bad rep(That's probably 75%+). I've been with them for six years. (I did not start with them, I was hired into a dedicated fleet to pull double 48's.) So far I am very pleased where I'm at.

    Hrmmm...to call me naive for having a strong work ethic and overall positive attitude, I guess it makes sense.

    ....wait, no it doesnt :biggrin_25511:
