Starting Swift Academy 3/12/12

call your recruiter and say you want to run from Swift. That company is garbage.

 

Swift is OK,

they have alot of freight,

I suggest dry van to start........

Good Luck !!!

 

Swift is garbage and they do have a lot of freight but they also dont pay worth a ####

 

dude swift "SUCKS" ### i went to columbus and i was their two days and i got up and walked out never gave them the chance to hire me after what the guy said about the pay .25 cents pr mile thats a joke that wont even pay the dog food bill for the week. you better get ahold of prime inc or some one eles dont wast your time on swift trust me they are a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!stay away

 

Congratulations on your new adventure! SWIFT pays .25 to start but also pays you back for the schooling if you stick it out. The pay increases at an acceptable rate and if you do your job well it all works out. As far as trailers you must decide how much work you want. With trucking in general the more hands on the loads are the more they pay. Flats are nice to pull, but tarping is work. Refers pay better than Dry Vans, but you will handle more freight. Dry Vans pay the least but much of the time you just drop a Van and pick up another. It is easier. Longer hauls pay less, but you dock less... it's easier.

Drive safe and enjoy the road.

PS What location are you training at?

 

Tell them you want a white trailer....

 

I spit out my soda laughing at this!

 

I don't care who you are, that's funny stuff right there.
