Hey psycho,
So u jumped on with Swift? Thats gutsey considering all the bad thats talked about them here. U know I read they don't have enough work for all their grad students, meaning u can get stuck with the cdl training bill of $4,000.00. What r u experianceing?
Thanks

Things have definitely picked up when talking about loads and as far as "no work" I just haven't seen that. There's been a preplan on the qualcomm before we've arrived at the consignee or after we've sent in our unloaded/drop call.
The work is there it just might not be that 1000, 1200, or 1500 mile run that everyone wants all the time, but the work is definitely there.
I have to admit I wasn't looking forward to joining up with Swift in the beginning, but everything has been cool. I haven't been lied to "YET" and haven't been mistreated by anyone... YET!
I don't owe them ANYTHING. I paid for my CDL. That was something I decided from the beginning tho. I didn't want to be bound by any contracts.
I understand all the smack talk about Swift. Swift isn't one of the largest companies for nothing. I'm sure they have stomped on a lot of people and other companies to get to where they are.. That's business tho. I guess.
I'm not sure how far I'll go with Swift, but I do know it's a start. -

You could move to Cali where they hire or try a different company.

It could be a good thing

What do u mean about a 1000-1500 miles? 28 cents a mile x 1000 miles is $280.00. U can't be doing 1000-1500 a week u would'nt be making any money. Whats up? Help us out.
Oh, okay I get it, your talk'n u may not get 1000-1500 mile RUNS. How many miles u looking at a week, u think'n? What r u hearing?
Thanks -
uuuh - he said "run" not "week". -

I did this when I first started driving OTR. We sold our home and lived out of the truck so we could call anywhere home. We got NV drivers licenses, (no state tax) and called Las Vegas home although we didn't actually have a house at the time. We did eventually buy a house and have to switch thing over again.AfterShock Thanks this.
