Can any of the driver's out there tell me How much I will be able to run, and How much I am going to make out of training. I have lots of offers but i like swift for several reasons. I also so have a family, and i need to bring home a good Income. I know i have to pay my dues, but can i bring home 800.00 dollars a week on average.
Starting with swift On August 28 in Ocala Florida

Possibly,
but NOT likely...... -
Realistically, not at first and probably not for the first year. However, if you can hang in there you can be close to that within 6 months but you need to run everything, everywhere and restrict your hometime. I know with a family that will be hard but you get paid on dispatched miles. As soon as you solo start pushing to get on the Walmart dedicated to get more regular hometime. Swift, in my opinion is a great company to work for.
FrankGalhad, inkeper and scottied67 Thank this. -
I run everything they give me and go anywhere they send me. I stay out at least 6 weeks at a time even though I hate being out that long. I don't average anywhere near $800/week net or gross. I've talked to quite a few drivers lately with about my level of experience (5-7 months) and many are averaging around $500 gross and quite a few are making less than that.
I have no problem driving 600+ miles/day, but I can't drive it if they don't give it to me. -
I'm scheduled for orientation in Ocala the same time. See ya there!

If you don't enroll in benefits, 401k and claim exempt for tax purposes, I'm sure you can get close to $800 take home at swifty..
