My experience with Swift.

I guess companies are hoping that the new 18 year old hiring eligibility rule will remedy that....

 

Yup. And the CDL mills at some of these companies are willing and waiting to sign them up in earnest!!

 

They would rather broker the freight out

 

Soooo.. Swift a good beginner company for a rookie like me?

 

Oh yeah, you'll make 100k your first year and get a brand new truck!

 

Never been there, but there are probably better options.

 

I never had any issues at Swift. They treated me with kindness, courtesy and respect.

Well, there was this one dispatcher that was kind of a pest. She would nag me relentlessly about my favorite cape. She wanted to borrow it to wear with some red dress she had. I would just shrug her off.

But, I woke up one night to find her trying to lift it out of my sleeper so I bit her. The terminal manager got a little sore about that, but he let me off with a warning and grounded me from using his closet for a week. No big deal.

I just used the janitorial closet that week. It wasn’t bad once you get used to the smell of Fabuloso.

 

what do you mean gave you points? a carrier can just assign CSA points to your licence without the DOT or police being involved? how do you check?

 

Swift points.

 

If you are looking for experience go in mind someone can find a problem anywhere, they are going to use you. Have a goal to achieve and ignore all the B S that will be slung. That happens everywhere so you are not the only one. Just go in with your head done and do what is assigned to you safely and legal. Times fly so keep your eyes and ears open for continuing on.
