Well the swift recruiter called me this morning and said everything checked out fine, and when would I like to start school in Texas. Told her I was thinking around October, told me to call her back two weeks before I want to start school? Is this because of back ground checks?

Called Swift today just to feel out the company a little, and after hour on hold decided I would hang up. Never did get to talk with a real person, just automated system over and over letting me know I was on hold and someone would be with me shortly.

Anyone else have this issue. Called the 866 number listed on there website.

Called again this afternoon, and after ten minutes actually got to speak to a real person that put me on hold just as soon as she took my call..

A few minutes later she takes my call once again and starts by asking me several questions that I swear she was reading from some sort of script. After her questions, then I finally had my chance to ask my questions.

From all that I have read here on this forum I decided to go ahead and fill out the online application, and supposed to call the recruiter back tommorow.

Made a couple more calls, and CR already called me back trying to get me to pack my bags and head to the mormon promise land. Asked out the school outside Chicago, but was told had to go to SLC. Tried several times to call my assigned "recruiter" at Swift today but guess she does not want to talk with me.

Read what I have highlighted in bold from your posts. Then ask yourself this, "If this is the way they treat a person BEFORE they hire him, just how much worse will they treat me AFTER they hire me."

Don't know. Maybe they are trying to give you time to come to your senses. Now I know that we have a few people on here who work for SWIFT and are actually happy there. And I have had personal contact with a couple of drivers who were happy at SWIFT. But a lot more are not.

I sort of got a hard on for SWIFT when I went into the Pueblo CO terminal to try to talk to somebody about a job. I stood there for #### near a half hour, with a lot of different people ignoring me. I finally said "screw this," and walked out. I've never regretted it.
