I appreciate you and all the other truckers who give us CDL newbies the heads up on the trucking game. Thank you.
I'm fixing to start driving for Swift. Been in the trades but I'm moving to a new trade since I'm tired of working for peanuts. Plus I love driving and always liked semi's even as a kid.
going orientation in 3days
LoL.. starting as a new driver at 53¢ per mile is a ripoff. At today's economy you shouldn't be excepting anything under 75¢ per mile. My company pays by the HR OTR with 90% medical and 100% dental. Here you start out around $25/hr plus paid per diem that comes in a separate check. I made a little over 100k after taxes last year. I drove for swift for 12yrs and I can tell you your getting ripped off. I drove as a mentor for 7. The only thing you should use swift for is to get your CDL. If they try to charge you for leaving, the supreme court ruled that truck companies can't do that because the federal government pays for their CDL program. If you live in the northwest let me know and I'll get you on with my company. They are so good to their drivers, that when I had my appendix removed. They gave me a check to cover what my insurance didn't cover. I'd like to see swift do that. I got 24yrs experience and if you'd like to connect and have give you some driving tips, hit me up. I'm in Boise quite often and usually stay at the sage in Caldwell, ID. My channel is truck'n with stinky Pete.
Hey what company are you with? Do they do paid training
@@kendrickgandy2377
Where you from? We only hire in Washington.
It's a ripoff true but for new CDL drivers it's more about the experience than the money, once you get a solid 6 months you can pretty much go anywhere you want.
I really just plan to get a decent truck with the money and go O/O, several of my friends have already done this so i'm going to follow suit.
Dang man that sucks i plan on joining swift manly for there cdl school but thats kinda scary to hear the recruiter went cold turkey on you
It was strange, but not the end of the world. Their school is not a bad way to go! Good luck!
I was going to have SWIFT pay for my School but I found a local Community College that paid for School and this way I wasn't obligated to work for SWIFT or to pay them back afterwards.
@@michaeloday466 solid way to go
They pay me 43c per mile, of course I'm rookie for now ,but danm. I crossed the country every week
Lucky you I get paid 41 cent per mile thus us my second week as a solo
@@frankieacer27are you guys making over a 1000 a week? I’ve been talking to a recruiter and at 43 cpm will that get me above a grand a week?
@@ProFited87on 64 mph trucks is pushing it, the most miles youll be able to do is 2500, calculate time spent a shipper or consignee, getting fuel and traffic, on a good week u might see 900, but $800 checks will be average
@@disgruntledveteran3698 that’s horrible lol I’m gona end up being like your name. Just another disgruntled veteran.
@@ProFited87 nah got to get your experience in. Same with military you start out with private pay and get promoted off experience. As a new trucker the cost to insure you is high so the pay reflects that. After one year, no violations, speeding tickets, good record they will pay you more. 1200-1500 a week after one year. Mega carrier pay will always be trash so best to move on after one year. Their business model is based off hiring newbies and high turn over. Thats why their recruiting and helping people get CDLs is so straightline and smooth.
I completed my bachelor's degree while living in my car, I spent the better part of 5 years traveling around Latin America, and I became fluent in Spanish at 25 years of age. I am currently enrolled in an alternative teaching program to teach Spanish, but as I will be waiting a year to get into the classroom, I've decided to get my CDL. A company will be paying for my training and I will be creating videos during the process and sharing as much as I can for everyone else out there interested in driving! I begin on the 31st, so feel free to connect with me regarding anything! Take care.
Any updates?
Have you seen any spooky stuff around Mt. Shasta? People say they see alot of supernatural looking stuff around there. Just wondering. Thanks for the info about Swift, I’m considering them to hire on with.
I have not
The city of telos is underneath
You helped. I have applied for $2100 no touch freight as experienced driver and then Swift acted as I applied for 100% touch freight claiming that it is something I have applied to. I can not believe their recruitment is doing this. This video just confirmed I thought they made mistake. They do this on purpose and I won't work for Swift.
Sorry to hear that. Good luck!
The recruiter ghosted me too then a month later another Recruiter picked me up and we're back in negotiations.
Now that you’re in Boise, Idaho, don’t forget there is no Z in Boise. The proper way to pronounce it and not give yourself away immediately that you’re a newbie in the area is Boy-C or Boy-See. Nowhere in the English language does anyone ever teach the S and Z have interchangeable sounds. It’s always taught that S and C have interchangeable sounds.
Haha people love correcting us transplants
Great insight.....!!!!🎉
whatever nerd
Thanks for the info!
damn 6 cents a month that's crazy you're gonna be rich
Haha
Hopefully see more videos from you soon best of luck!
Thank you!
@@CAUZMOYo bro.. so you went to CDL school before getting that job?
heard so much hate on swift. schneider, swift, or knight? any recommendations for a 1 year experience trucker? i made 65k at waste management class B for a year, and want better pay/experience.
I think if I get 1300$ a week like that’s the maximum I can go I don’t go down after that I’ll stay till I found something better.
Go into local food service like Sysco, PFG, Gordon, US FOODS, Mclane etc.
Get to go home every night too
I’m sorry to hear that
hell yeah bro I applied for swift despite all the bad mouths I've heard everywhere looking to be local driver if you can share any knowledge or tips thanks bro .
Congrats! I have no real knowledge on the local position besides that a local Lathrop driver told me he was grossing $1,800 a week
thanks bro God bless@@CAUZMO
They have cameras monitoring you while you drive? Good lord….taking Big Brother to a whole new level.
Good video! Lot of great training provided with a lot of good people. However , as he stated the money is just not there and there is a tremendous amount of down time. I now have a local job am home nightly and make in 3 days what it took 7 at swift to do.
Sounds great! I'm at $30/hr working from home! We are getting there!
What do you do?
@@lazydadsgarageonlyfans 💀🤣
@@tamatonga007only fans is the only way
@@tamatonga007😂😂
What was your home time Every week? I want my weekends. How much could i make? On low end, average and high end as a rookie
negotiate home time with SWIFT prior to taking the job. for the most part mine was saturday afternoon and all of sunday
Por que los más bonitos chóferes esta en swift
Does anyone know how much swift really pays per mile as of June 2024 just had a recruiter called me and said.55 cents per mile and that's hard to believe aa a rookie driver out of CDL school and I want otr.
I was 52 on regional two years ago
As a rookie
Was it $2100 gross, but $1800 net? Because that would make sense
Nope $1800 gross.
PARCERO VOS SOS COLOMBIANO...SI O Q
Do swift do non-compete clause?
Not sure about other states but in California I don’t think that holds up
Does swift offer the dollar tree account for regional drivers
I was regional when I went in and they offered me the dollar tree account. Just talk to the recruiter.
This man is clearly lying!!
Thanks for this
