Swift Owner Operators

So Kevin are you running more miles per month on your lease than is allowed as a mentor? Therefore accruing excessive mileage charges that you have to pay?

 

I am going to make this real simple and put my money where my mouth is (literally).

I AM interested in Swifts L/P program, but I need a bit of convincing as to why I would ever want to do it?

Going on 4 years with swift as a company driver, I am a mentor. I don't actually run that hard tho (4500 miles a week average with current student. With my last student we ran 5800-6500 in the 2 weeks he was on the truck.)

This is my pay for the last 4 weeks. I want a Swift L/O to SHOW me WHY I should step up to the next level.

 

Tell me how many miles you ran those weeks ... how many were loaded, how many empty/deadhead and what the extra pay was for and were any with a student ... and I can tell you what your gross/net would be as an l/o ...

But I will tell you this unless you want to run hard, not because you need to, to make it - you do - but because you are wired that way as a type A pesrsonality, you will not be happy as an l/o.

 

They WERE company drivers but they leased a company truck which is now considered a leased truck. I guess o/op's are permitted to run a little faster.

 

68mph for non company trucks, and L/O's. Some are turned up higher without Swift's knowledge.

If I was a owner OP I wouldn't have them doing my B services. Petro or others do it faster. More money, but how much money you losing sitting there waiting in a line of 14 trucks?

 

Getting between 25 and 27 hundred I have been on my own for about 3 months

 

Is the as a L/O or an O/O?
