swift

Your previous post made it seem like Swift knew about your felonies when they hired you. Why would they send you across the continent and then fire you ?

 

35K is the lowest I would settle for coming out of school. I ended up making closer to 50k my first year. Granted I live on the east coast and mainly run in the northeast and midwest so that made a big big difference. I never worked for swift and won't knock it. Matter of fact you can make respectable money at swift or any mega. Its a little harder for western drivers but not impossible.

 

They did know about it. Not sure if that's a question? Oh and maybe they would send me across the country and fire me for the same reason as when I called last week to see if I was eligible for rehire and two recruiters say yes. I send in a request to go back as a reinstatement(Less than 30 days) only asking for a different driver leader, hoping that would be the key to getting more miles. I then get a call from my former Driver Leader stating that I am not eligible to come back,indefinitely. Ask for a reason, more than once ( No lates,no preventables, out 4-6 wks) No reason was given. Called the regional recruiter, left a detailed message, no call back. Maybe there's a good reason that has nothing to do with me. My point is...I don't know why they'd fire me as well as not rehire me, but they could and did without reason and that's their right.

 

Check your DAC

 

Yea swift drivers do, my friend sent me a screenshot of his 1st check running teams he got 1250 in 1 week

 

Yes, it is possible especially if you're taking your per diem.

 

Its more than .32 a mile now. I don't know exactly but the last student I trained about 6 months ago started off at .33 and I saw this for myself.

 

I heard Swift is now paying .36. How much do you get paid for the 4 weeks of training and how many miles do they start you of with ?

 

I heard .36 also.
Does Swift follow the following formula? ===> pay + per diem + admin fee (if they have them)= .36??

If they follow this, does anyone know what the numbers are?
If you opt out of per diem, what is the starting cpm?


Thanks

 

For the for weeks of training, you get paid whatever your states minimum wage is per hour. Although I drive for Swift currently, there seems to be some confusion even among drivers about the starting pay. If you opt into per diem, it simply gets added to what you make. At least it seems that way. I've not heard anything about an admin fee.
