My experience at SWIFT

That's easier sd then done. Specially when ur thousands of miles away from home with 0 dollars in ur pocket. I don't know about u but I wouldn't want to get stranded someplace I don't know with no way to get home....
Also The days I spent in the hotel in Gary Indiana I had 3 roommates. They all "stood up for themselves" and where are they now? I know one for sure is working at mcdonalds the other 2 I heard them on the phone with Swift. They treat it like it's your fault at least those 3 they did. They told one other guy I'll put you on another truck but if it don't work out your on ur own. The other he said he threatened to kick his mentors ###, because his mentor was yelling at him and he felt like a child. I heard the person on the other end telling him he can't do that and he would have to come to the terminal the next day. I never saw him again.
And not to mention all the reading I've done about companies ####ing people over. One example I saw lots of: people quit, and when they try to find work they have a drug test refusal. Cause they quit on a friday on Monday the company throws a BS DT on them without telling them. They never show up cause they don't know about it. It goes on their record....
Another thing I have bills I'm sure a lot of you do trucking school to me cost 9000 dollars with interest I'm not going to get ####ed over because I "stood up for myself" I knew I had to hang in there for a month and in my case it took a little longer but I made it. I had to deal with a lot of bs but I did it. Like I said I'm almost at 100000 miles I've never hit anything or anyone.. I've basically had to learn everything myself other then what I learned at the school I went to which was great the instructors were awesome. Out of 8 people me and another guy passed the first time because we were committed to it. We actually showed up early worked on our pretrip, we practiced backing over and over. Out of the whole school the tester said I got the fastest pretrip he's ever seen which was 17 minutes and not missed one thing... so give me a ####ing break doormat or not I was not going to #### my hard work for some pride ########.... this thread is like the title said my experience at swift.. just sharing with whomever feels like reading it.. .

 

I agree with you every one has their experience. Some good some bad some worse. I know how hard it is to deal with bad DM, I have one myself. They can and will make your life hell. I hope things get better for you.

 

Lol true. only this I learned from him was macros 1-9.

 

I have no reason to lie or make this up. I'm just trying to share my story. At the end of the day none of you will know who I am. Mostly for people that want to go with this company to realize it's not as easy as I thought it was going to be.
