I just went through the swift academy and there was one guy they should have kicked out but did not, by the 3rd week he could not even straight back and on several occassions did things that were unsafe but beyond that i had good training, and was taught how to back
Swift’s accident rate is their own fault

I drove through Oregon on 84 Ontario to Klamuth Falls down 97.. Then I-5 south of Sacremento.. Monday through Thursday.. Inspection sweeps weeks or whatever just a few days ago. Didnt get called into to a single weigh station.. ALL bypass! And then I see this thread. Had to respond. Stop lying weirdo. Find something better to do. -
CK73 Thanks this.

Tomorrow will be the 6 month marker since my date of hire with Swift... seen more than a few truck wrecks in that time. Mostly other companies, but a handful of Swift. Thing is, Knight-Swift is too #### big. Accidents will happen, and they don't care about the company markings on your door. Unfortunately for Knight-Swift, the law of averages states that because their markings are on more trucks, they're more likely to be involved in said wrecks. Not excusing the drivers' stupidity, just saying that the company has little or nothing to do with it

There is no excuse for drivers' stupidity, and from what I have seen Swift does all it can to emphasize and insist on safety.
CK73 and MartinFromBC Thank this. -
They have 1700 accidents over a 2 year period with 15,000 trucks on the road.
Their CSA scores are solid.MGE Dawn Thanks this. -

I know zero about Swift.
But when someone has thousands of trucks, odds are good they will also be in some accidents.Aamcotrans Thanks this. -
