<p>[QUOTE="Bigbrad1105, post: 8418469, member: 248223"]I’ve been recently looking at possibly leasing a truck with swift transportation. With Swift’s settlement just underway it kind of leaves the question of what’s to come or change? I called the owner operator recruitment line and tried to get some answers and plain out said,”I know things are fixing to change with the settlement being finalized and all”, the recruiter acted like she had no idea what I was talking about. “What settlement?”. I continued my search for answers through email about such things like, fuel surcharge, load selections, pay and other general questions. Instead of replying with a list of answers I got a reply saying to call her when I had a chance. I try to call and she doesn’t even answer. All that being said I think it’s safe to say swift is still shady at best and right now might not be the time to go through them. Still looking to venture into the owner op world without actually looking to buy a truck I’m left wondering what other options might be available? All info I can find about leasing is it all depends on the person whether or not it works out but how can you tell? I’m somebody that runs 3,000-3,500 miles a week if they’re available, run 3 or more months at a time. No wife or kids, low personal expenses. Just focusing on building a bankroll for awhile. Is that gonna put me in the same realm as those who make these leases work?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
