    The hiring of Mexican drivers is almost certainly another rumor started by Swift hatemongers. They would only be able to hire those who are legally able to work in the U.S. and, if it is for cheap labor, Swift would not be the only company hiring them.

    I believe it was in the 90's a few years ago, its has been steadily decreasing. I was told we have one of the fastest decreases ever seen. We do expect it to continue to decrease.

    My husband and I are thinking of going with this company. They are close enough for us to get home and check on our college aged child when we start in 2-3 years. I still think they may be a good company. They are a training company. Some stay. Since they are one of the largest companies, they will have more incidents and complaints. If you look at the over all comparison, they are no different than the others. Some one has to be the "whipping boy" and it seems like they are it (like the pollack jokes of the 70's).:biggrin_25519:
