- In this video I rant about my first disappointment with Swift along with telling them if that is the best they can do, just send me back to the Lathrop terminal and I will turn in my truck.
There is no reason drivers should have less than 2500 mile a week average if they do not go home for 2 to 4 weeks at a time.

I would have gone ballistic!!!!!! Good for you!! I always call customers before PU and DEL to check on things before I get there! Good advice!! Drivers have to be proactive! Swift, like many other carriers, probably has more drivers than work! They need to be more honest / transparent with their drivers! If many are saying they don;t make enough and they don't have enough work, let them leave!!! Swift needs to tell them we don't have the work, you need to go , and we will call you when things get better!
I don't know if it's with refer or not but with dry van ask about 747. OTR lot of miles for team
Appreciate the vlog. I’m currently going thru the app process for the swift academy. I’m single no kids so OTR is perfect for me. I’m just hoping I don’t have trouble staying moving as I don’t have a home and want to be out on the road.
You will be fine I would suggest going toe which is what I am going to switch too. You are doing it the right way if you are not married nor have kids. In a couple years you should be able to put away enough to buy a house. I am working on a video now to show what I am making a week for each week will be posted soon.
It's Good To See Someone Who Has Been On The Management Side Of Trucking And Now Is Behind The Wheel Of A Big Truck And This Guy Is Speaking The Truth , So I'm Glad I'm Watching This Video And Good Luck To You & Be Safe Driver
BTW, even if you head over to East. Still no freight. Yes, I'm a swift driver running Western 11 currently stuck in Texas because there's no freight here either.
Are you dry van or reefer?
Swift (students with insufficient freaking training!) Thats the acronym 😅
No freight, too many trucks. They just need enough miles out of you to pay the truck and THEIR bills.
1 bad week does not mean its a bad company.
Never once said swift was a bad company if you watch my videos I say they are still one of the best companies out there, that does not mean I won’t speak out when I think something is not right.
@@markbennett5211. O you steering wheel holder. Cry baby.
When are y’all going to understand that the whole country is in recession
Lol, you missed the whole point, I was sent into an area that had no freight three days before the load had to pick up. While at the same time there was freight in Washington but they would not send me back because they had already sent to Idaho. Yes the economy is not as good as a few years ago but the economy always goes up and down.
The country is not in a recession, there are areas that are slow, but we as a country have not hit a recession yet.
That's how it goes, average driver OTR 2200 Mi a week
Are a lot of your loads going back and forth on the Interstate 5?
No that would be the I5 corridor division we have. I work the triangle cali to Oregon or Washington the. Over to Utah or Idaho then back down to cali
Your more like a northwest regional route.
@@markbennett5211 Doesn't CR own Walmart in California?
@@nobull4414 not sure, I run out of Walmart in Corinne ut
@@markbennett5211 Are you thinking about private fleet?
The same thing happens in Florida. Can get loads in but hard to get loads out
C.L. Werner approves.
Is this out by the Colombia river above I84?
Yes it is
@@markbennett5211 interesting, did you pick up a lot of loads out near Pendleton? I heard there's been huge numbers of tender rejections and reefer loads going to the spot market there for some reason.
I do Walmart dedicated out of Utah now.
@markbennett5211 Meant to ask about when you were running the 7 state regional. Just odd that swift would be having a hard time with getting loads from there.
When I was on 7 state regional usually picked up around pasco wa
You only been there 4 weeks and your crying allready.
Who said I was crying? I stated facts of what I would do if it did not get better and it got better I am not new to this industry.
@@markbennett5211. The corollary to that: The squeaky wheel gets grease.
I have 33+ yrs OTR, 19 as an owner operator . I just returned to being a company driver. Companies are going out of business left and right. Every driver is complaining at one time or another these days about low miles. Welcome to the Biden economy!! It’s gonna get worse before it gets better.
Biden has nothing to do with it. It’s a normal thing that happens. You folks gotta get over the whole blaming a president when the administration at that time does not control what the world buys and sells.
Does Swift pay you for sitting and waiting on the load?
Yes you get detention after two hours.
@@markbennett5211 so not to bad if you had to wait on that load. Depends on the pay.
@@scottytwojobs170 not to bad, but like every other company not close to what you would make driving
No company does. Unless it's a meat load
@@KeithRowell-ix2qg most company’s pay detention whether it is reefer dry van or flatbed. So please if you are going to comment at least please comment facts.
Hey
Are you owner operator or company driver?
With swift I am a company driver. I was an owner operator from 2001-2017 then I sold my truck to go to work as a dispatcher then a transportation manager. Just recently came back to driving
@markbennett5211
That's great.
I am a Truck Dispatcher currently.
And
What you driving truck city to city or state to state?
I. Run the 7 western states as of now. But only getting 2000 miles a week so will probably switch to otr
@markbennett5211
That's you very hardworking man.I appreciate you.
I am a Truck dispatcher and I am looking to owner operator for giving dispatching services to them.
Do you know to anyone owner operator who needs dispatching service?
AAAhhhhhhh, you gonna go to Swift jail now
