    I would go with Swift. I have heard both good and bad on Werner but know Swift has more terminals than Werner making it easier to T-Call loads to local drivers. also Swift has a lower Safestat score than Werner.

    Edit: Swift has more trucks and trailers than Werner and Covenant combined which is a plus when it comes to locating an MT. They have more freight to keep you moving too.

    Werner is large, but there were still times where acquiring empty trailers were painful. I remember relaying loads at truckstops with other drivers.
