    Thank you for the information on Swift transportation. I hear drivers talk so much crap about them. But to me, Swift is one of the largest trucking companies in the united states. I'm seriously considering going to work for them when I graduate truck driving school

      As of now swift is the largest, and just like with any company there are going to be ups and downs. But overall for me it’s the fact that they treat you like a person here that matters. Definitely at least give them a call and talk to them when your ready the training program here is second to none

      Go for it. Ppl talk crap about them because they’re the biggest company and everyone’s biggest competitor

      Any tips for someone coming to swift?
      Looking at starting academy in Lewiston after the new year
      Can I reference your driver number ?
      I’m not type to jump around companies. I’m 40 years old and have had 2 jobs since I was 18
      First job US Army
      Second job Coca Cola
      Only reason I’m leaving Coca Cola is because they are shutting down my location and moving production 150 miles down the road .
      And if I’m gunna sell the house and move I might as well do something different,

    swift is good for experience to find a local job later on or for people who truly have a passion for OTR. i quit after 3 months solo because the OTR pay was pretty low for the stress,responsibility and time away from home . had to dip into saving sometimes. i found a local box truck home daily , weekends off that paid $300 take home pay more a week. has all the bells and whistles . it wasn't even a competition. i learned a lot at swift but OTR lifestyle wasn't for me

    I'm digging driving for Swift too. I've been here for about 5 months OTR and it's been good for the most part so far.

      So far I am liking it, or at least there are more ups than downs. But I can say I am frustrated with them almost as much as I am happy with them.

    How long is the training? Where do they hold it? How long do you have to ride with a trainer after the training at the facility?

      I know you are with your mentor for 4 weeks after the academy and I believe the academy is also 4 weeks but not completely sure on that part as I came here with experience and am just now going to be starting my journey as a mentor/trainer here.

    now that two months have past, have the miles per week been any better ?
    I'm in CDL school in Florida and most companies I've talked to either need 3 months or 6 months to 1 year or they just don't hire out of florida. So it's looking as though Swift is my only option, just wanted to be sure that the probable year commitment I will give them will be well worth it.

    • @markbennett5211
      @markbennett5211  10 месяцев назад +1

      Yes miles are better though I am on a dedicated route now, I will be putting out an updated review of swift this week. Swift Walmart accounts out of Florida make good miles and money.
