    I was supposed to get on the Intermodal account in San Bernardino but a driver retired on the Target account in Rialto and the recruiter asked me if I was interested so I took it since I live in Rialto close to the Target DC. So far so good with swift.

    Thing is when your paycheck is just barely $1,000 every two weeks that pay starts looking real nice especially if you're saying that you get home everyday

    Hey are you still with swift man? I had a bunch of questions. It looks like you take time off whenever you want so do you make your own schedule? Is pay still good first year? How are the benefits? What are the hours like in terms of work weeks? Are schedules more set then bouncing around? I’m looking into getting in with the Troutdale, Portland OR terminal because USPS is not looking like the move for me right now since the economy not good and I need to make the most amount of money without having to go OTR.

    • @TruckingwithTorres
      @TruckingwithTorres  Год назад +5

      I’ve been with swift for 4 years already and before that it was 1 year with Schneider. I would suggest going to an outside school if you can because any mega carrier cdl program make you sign a 1 year contract and they make you go over the road. If you decided to leave before the year they make you pay I believe anywhere from 7000-10000 for the school. If you get your CDL elsewhere swift offers tuition reimbursement
