How much did you make your first year with swift ?

My first full year (2013) was about 44k. Then in 2014 I made 55k and quit in November so that was for about 10 1/2 month. That was after the big flatbed pay raise. It's not much but it will pay the bills and open the doors to better trucking jobs.

 

I see the good and the bad with Swift but I'm a rookie with a cdl trying to get started and have a offer in the reefer division....just wanted to know if it's more or less profitable then dry van or the same and how is home time out of georgia

 

I was in a dedicated reefer (slip seat) division pulling for Walmart out of NM, home time was after every 70hrs!

 

Another company

 

Because that is low pay!

 

Sure do not know where you are getting your information regarding the pay, but you might just want to get your facts right. Starting pay right out of School is .33/mi

 

They started me at .37 right out of school.
Either way, that guys got a hair up his butt about 28 cpm lol

 

My gamer tag was cnswift so they were my first choice. The recruiter told me .28 if i go through their training. Its the reason i didnt go with them. They start at .36 if you have at least 6 mo. experience. That may be where the confusion is coming from...

 

If you look at the thread here as far as pay, you will see that .28/mi is wrong. That starting pay was almost 2 years ago. Since then there has been 2 raises. A driver could come out of school and get lucky right after training and get on a dedicated run that pays more, and they will receive what the dedicated run pays.

This is from Sep, 2014
