<p>[QUOTE="Mrh2008, post: 3346411, member: 86600"]As with any job, there are ups and downs, and each employee must make their own decisions on what is acceptable and what is not. Theramsey3, my first year with SWIFT really was OK, my only complaint for the first year was sitting for too long occasionally. My mentor Is a great driver and was very helpful, Home time was on time nearly every time, the equipment I was in was always safe and road ready and after 8 months or so phoenix let me choose my own trucks, for the last 6 months, i didnt drive anything older than 2011! never had a single problem with payroll, over all it wasn't a bad experience for me. If I were to start all over, I might even choose swift as my starter company. But keep in mind, swift is in fact a starter company and the easiest way for them to make money is to bring on the new guys at $0.25 a mile. At one year, you'll be at 32cpm with swift while other companies will offer 35-37cpm for 1 year experience. Money talks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
