In 2024 why NOT go to swift?

Well.....self respect, maybe????

 

I was joking around with my wife the other day about our plans when we move to the U s. Maybe I should lease my truck on with Swift. She's watches Youtube's shows with me like "Boneheaded Truckers" etc. And says, "Why work with a company like that for"?.. However, I see it from a business standpoint as they have their direct customers, load board etc. Regardless I never did look at them seriously really yet and not sure what their avg. Rate per mile and contracted insurance rates and what they actually offer?

 

Swift is ok. Some drivers have been there for years and retire from Swift.
Just because someone posts ignorant videos about Swift doesn't mean much. Every company gets a knucklehead every now and then.

 

@Chinatown besides Swifty been long surpassed in the uh o category by Fed Wrex ground and Amazon

 

Never worked for Swift myself. but I was a CDL instructor for a few years and the biggest complaints I heard from former students at Swift was not enough miles. That was probably about 20 years ago, so it is probably still current...

 

Was gonna say, there's nothing in the world wrong with Swift nor is there any shame in working there. They're just the favorite whipping boy of some folks. Nothing wrong with Swift.

 

Bad idea, Swift doesn’t have enough freight, that’s why.

My friend has an outside truck leased to them for thirty years. and he told me freight is slow.

Most of the freight is going to the outside Owner/ Ops who use the Knight/Swift Logistics load board.

Also according to the latest reports on Freight Waves, they’re not doing too well.
