    The reason they dance upon a fail rating is they are notorious... Notorious for unleashing the least trained and poorly skilled DANGEROUS drivers upon the roadways..

    That's exactly why they are a "joke" ... A very serious one that gets people hurt, killed and dealing with damaged property constantly.

    SWIFT should have had their MC revoked like anyone else but they have deep pockets to pay off the corrupt government.

    Swift and its drivers are the an-us of the trucking industry.

    Swift should be forced out of business asap.

    All I have to say is that I'm glad I didn't go England or CRST for my license. I was desperate enough to get out of retail and into something better that I was okay with driving for a mega anywhere between a year or two years, but I wasn't stupid enough not to do my homework. That said, it's kinda hard NOT to come across the Sure Wish I Finished Training and the Best in Crash jokes that are born of the law of averages working against a company as large as Swift. Which is sad, because it means that folks like my driver mentor, who is a decorated Marine Corps veteran and a #### good driver, get overshadowed by folks that Swift has probably fired for all the crashes and unsafe nonsense in those compilations. Not every Swift driver is terrible and dangerous, just like not every O/O in the world takes their 30 on the fuel island (despite what my experience would leave me to believe)

    If it weren't for the internet, I doubt there would be so many jokes about Swift. That said, why is it not plausible to think that people actually like working there? They've been in business for decades, they're doing something right.

    You could have done worse. Put in 2 years of clean driving, buy a used Prime truck and lease on to Landstar. Within 3 years you could be making double what your driver mentor is taking home.
