How Much Swift Pay for local Drivers ?

btw i never worked less than 40hrs in a week even a 4 day week(holiday)

 

wow! you must have been ready to drop dead at the end of the week! that phoenix sun is very draining.

 

I got 2 hours local pay in lancaster tx on thursday afternoon and was paid 32.50 for my trouble if this helps

 

yeah it was a butt kicker

 

Swift locals get $14/hr on a 60 hour work week. No time and a half.

 

Some local drivers do get paid by the mile, the shuttle drivers out of Lancaster for example get paid for approximately 500 miles a day (depending on which lane they run) and are home every night. Some work 6 on off 2, others work Mon - Fri with weekends off.

 

old dominion doesnt pay overtime until after 60 hours

 

IM still with a mentor but am wondering how much otr i have to do before i can get a local gig. If it matters IM close to Los Angeles

 

All that responsibility for $14 an hour? Temps make that, and they sit on their ### all day (so do we) but we are subject to millions of dollars in liability for freight, loss of life, for 14$ an hour ?

 

if truck drivers would refuse to work for it, the pay would go up! it will never go up if there's a massive amount of drivers constantly entering the trucking industry willing to work for peanuts.
