SWIFT background check

I can't answer that question.

But I can state, if they won't. You're better off for it. ANY company that fails to hire you on that information...isn't worth working for.

 

When I talked to my recruited I had 2 tickets from back in 2003, he pretty much told me if its not a felony, and I didnt kill someone or have a DUI, not to worry about it.

 

Dont do it!!!!!! Find a better company!!!!!its worth waiting!!!!!!

 

So? Are you going to give reasons or facts for that statement? Just curious.

 

Does anyone read the original post date?

 

Doah! All I saw was the typical 'don't do it' reply given without reasons and responded. Talk about following the blind!

 

COME ON NOW!!!! IF YOUR A TRUCKER AND BEEN ON THE ROAD THEN YOU ALREADY KNOW THE SWIFT ISSSUES..AND YEAH ABOUT THE DATE..I DONT CARE...THIS IS MY OPINION!!!...AND IM AMERICAN SO IM ALOUD THAT!!! IM JUST GIVING THE NEW BEES SOME GOOD ADVICE SO THEY CAN LOOK INTO OR JUST TALK TO EXP. DRIVERS ABOUT THE "FAMOUS SWIFT REPUTAION!!!!!!!!

JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS TO ALL YOU HARD WORKING TRUCKERS, ROLLIN HARD MAKING MONEY TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES!!!!GOD BLESS

 

Well I just quit Swift Thursday (4/8/10) to move on to bigger and better things. I can tell you that for me their "famous reputation" did not hold true. I was treated pretty well during my time with them. Yes, freight was slow on occasion and most of their shops left a good deal to be desired. But, they seldom messed with my money (the few times I was shorted etc a quick call to payroll help desk solved the oversight quickly) and they stood behind any promises made to the best of their ability.

I would have no problems recommending them to anyone starting out in the business. Most people judge Swift by their failures only (which EVERY company has) and not the positive things about to company and/or drivers. But that's human nature I reckon.

Yepp, I noticed the OP was back in 2008 but figured I would add my actual experience with them and not just let the "usual conventional wisdom" on them go unchallenged.
