Job with Swift?

Swift is offering .44 cpm and sent me an offer letter with a start date of next Monday. I took a job with a flatbed company first and physically I wasn't able to do it from the aftermath of an old injury.

The recruiter with Swift mentioned that gross my checks would be around $1100 - $1200 a week. Does that sound right? Last week I applied for 10+ companies and Swift has been the first to respond and move forward. National Carriers gave me an offer but I wouldn't start until the end of January. I could hold out for something "better" but I have bills pilling up.

 

At 44 cpm making $1000. Per week seems not likely

 

Marten Transport pay is better, but only you know what your current financial situation will permit.
@TawcoTruck - Would you be going with Swift dry van or Swift refrigerated?

You may not have enough driving time for Marten though. Call and ask or submit the short app.

Tread lightly with that place. There are quit a few past comments on here about applicants being dropped mid stream through a long drawn out "hiring" process. Knight has about ruined that place from what it was.

 

$1,100 is 2500 miles as straight milage pay. If you have accessory pay on top of that, you could be in that range, so I think it's plausible. I started at .44cpm at Schneider and I was grossing about that amount.

 

Swift is a good choice. Can get started sooner also. Swift used to get lots of bad press from drivers, but seems that's not the case today. I'm still gung-ho refrigerated trucking though.

Saw a Swift Refrigerated rig that looked exactly like this photo, clean and sharp looking.
It was on I-15 running through Las Vegas.

 

Im a new grad and they aren't hiring inexperienced drivers currently.

 

What is accessory pay? I hope they aren't including the tuition reimbursement with that estimate.

 

Did you apply with JRayL Transport?

 

Accessory pay is extra stops, any driver load/unload etc.
