    A Swift driver caused a fatality accident on I-81 in PA last Friday. Nothing on the news about it though.

    Yeah but no indication in what. I guess now we know, in that way they are the best cant argue with that.

    there are 24k power units in the fleet. Why don't some of you super truckers go drive for Swift. That way you can personally fix everything you think they do wrong.

    ^ I actually tried to go work for them but they didn't hire me. But it's all right, I'm in greener pastures.;)

    Yea, this website loves to hate on Swift, Prime, CR England, Western Express, Schneider, FedEx, ...I wonder why. My theory is because so many of the members here have worked for them and have now quit or have gotten fired from there and are now anti-mega super truckers!
     
    Charlie Mac Thanks this.

    Why would an Experienced driver waste thier time working for a company like SWIFT? This company has a bad reputation because the Owners and Management made this company into what it is.
     
    DTP and Big Don Thank this.

    Swift has started hauling out of one of our customers. Not downtown but pretty close to it Chicago. Every one of them is all over the road. They can't look to see if their lane ends due to cars being parked. In Chicago you drive in the left hand pane because that lane will start and stop every block. I seen one Swift women driving 10mph on grand Ave in Chicago. Like you could tell she thought she was going to hit every car parked on the side. I still remember my first day... But she didn't have a trainer or anything. So the company evidently thought she was good to go and she wasn't.
