Does swift have alot of old trucks and do they assighn newer trucks to experienced drivers.or how does that work after orientation?
Depends on what's available after orientation. No successful company is going to let a load sit or a customer wait, if there's a driver and tractor available. If the driver is new and the tractor is new, then you just lucked out.
One year is pro in todays trucking world most company's will let you be a trainer after six months lmao than you wonder why the trucking industry is crap...
I have been with them for 7 months. The first truck I was assigned was an '08 volvo 760 with 400,000 miles. Nice truck in good shape. I had some problems with breakdowns though. In 6 months it was in the shop for various reasons about 6-7 times. At 470,000 miles on the volvo, they put me in a 2013 Kenworth t660. I think when you start, they will put you in whatever is available at the time. I have seen guys get a newer truck right from the start.
