Liking Swift So Far

http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/swift/

 

Governed at 62 for Company Trucks.

 

i worked with swift last yr, and i didn't have too many problems with them. just don't lease a truck thru them, you will lose your butt.the miles were good, but i talked to a driver that had been with them for a long time and he told me that as your pay goes up, your miles go down.
I see that you are in ga, so you will probably be out of atlanta, if you are try to get patrick. he is a very good dm. no problem with him at all. he cares for his drivers and will help them all he can.

 

I have been with Swift now almost 19 months. Of that time, I have been a lease operator for 18 months. My miles are consistent and home when I want and no complaints. I have a friend that is also a driver with Swift, lease operator, and he just took delivery of his 4th truck two months ago. Tells you how long that he has been there.

As far as a lease operator, I have talked to alot more that are really enjoying it and doing quite well. I have also talked to some that are doing lousy, and there are reasons for it. They seem to forget that they are running a business

 

Which is why I won't go that route.
I am too lazy for all the paperwork.

But I do like working for Swift as a company driver.

 

Moose, the only extra paperwork is saving your tax deductible receipts, like repairs and scale tickets, then give to your accountant
