The website I refer to in this video is: www.goswiftowner.com If you decide to contact Swift Transportation about company driver or lease purchase opportunities please call Michelle Cantrell at 864-968-7605 and give her my driver code of WIRDA1 or give them my truck number 222999. Thanks
The first part of the process in buying a truck is to know the price and then get and then the terms and conditions. Only someone who doesn't know this business buys a truck because of the color or graphics
No, you can’t do that. The mudflap app is designed for you to save money by paying with a credit card or debit card. Your Comdata card already has disc associated with it, which at Swift is a nickel rebate per gallon or at least it was when I was there.
A lot of smoke and mirrors going on at Swift. Why show trucks with no price if you want to see a mega carriers used trucks they're selling check out pedigree truck sales at least they show the price
I'm not aware of any company that has a website that shows the process on there. Most car lots don't even do that. If you're too lazy to call the company and talk to them about the truck you're interested in, should you be opening a business to begin with?
As an independent contractor you can go home whenever you want to but you have to keep in mind that the payments and insurance and things like that never stop so you need to plan for your home time accordingly
So that's a little bit of a complicated question. They guarantee everything that you scan by Tuesday will be on that week's check. Usually though, if you scan on Wednesday it will still be on there also but they don't guarantee it. Payday is technically Friday and it hits most People's Bank by Monday. Some people with Wells Fargo and Bank of America are reporting that they get their pay on Saturday but mine always comes on Monday unless Monday happens to be a holiday
@@edwinriveraortiz1368 yeah just been working a lot and there hadn't been a whole lot of newsworthy things happen. If there's something specific you want me to make a video about, let me know and it might happen
@@edwinriveraortiz1368 I have video conference meetings every week about it. We aren't even beta testing it yet. As you know when beta testing begins it usually lasts for a few months and in some things such as software it can last close to a year. Once I start beta testing it I will share the information I have but right now there's nothing newsworthy to share
There is a residual buyout at the end of every lease and it varies from truck to truck and from lease to lease. These are great questions and I will be answering questions like this on my new live stream I will be doing Tuesday nights at 5:00 p.m.
Yes my hope is that you will come in there and ask questions like this because it creates a great discussion and many drivers have the exact same questions as you do. It's very possible at times we may still disagree after we hear each other's point of view, there's even a possibility you may change some of my beliefs with your opinions but I just want to create an open discussion where we can all speak to each other respectfully and intelligently and learn from each other
No MRP trucks are typically 3 years old. If you wanted MRP truck just talked to Michelle when you get her up to phone or he will be your name and phone number and I can get someone to reach out to you. truckertodd806@gmail.com
The reason I said to ask michelle, is they might be full right now. I know they accept owner operators but I don't know if they're full right now or not
I really think you'll be glad if you did. It's the best place I've ever worked and I honestly can't believe I'm saying that. I'm by no means saying they're perfect but I am saying they're very good
In 2015 I signed on with celadon on a lease purchase and maid it to the end of 2017 now I’m doing a lease purchase on a 2014 freightliner cascade threw advanced trucking biggest piece of garbage I have ever driven.I live about an hour away from Chicago so I’m in a good area
Yes the trucks on the MRP program are company trucks that have reached the age limit of 3 years when Swift would normally sell or trade them in. In order to qualify to be an MRP truck they have certain maintenance history requirements that the MRP trucks must meet to qualify for the program
I'm not aware of any paccar motors at Swift either. Although I had one of those engines with my first truck at dart and it was a good engine and I know several people that have that engine and like it
I see what you're doing, you're making assumptions about Swift and trying to find something that will stick. Instead of blindly criticizing the company, why don't you educate yourself about the company and learn the facts?
An MRP lease is one of the leasing choices here at Swift Transportation. I did a whole video talking about the three different leases here at Swift, you should go check it out it's pretty good
It depends on which truck you select. I no longer work there so you would want to contact them for the latest information since things could have changed since I left there
No I was not required by the company to have a camera because I had my own insurance. I bought the samsara Camera still use it to this day but no safety department has access to the footage except me

They don't ever update their inventory often. The inventory hasn't been updated in months. I've checked regularly.
Yes I agree. I'm going to speak to them about that and hopefully they will start updating it soon

I'm not aware of any max force engines at Swift. International quit making those engines many years ago

Lol 😂 I can’t do a international
I’ll wait til beginning of the year to add to my fleet prices may go down
Sounds like a good strategy
Thanks for the info
How many days will I have to stay out before going home ??
As an independent contractor you can go home whenever you want to but you have to keep in mind that the payments and insurance and things like that never stop so you need to plan for your home time accordingly
Hey my good man Todd hope everything is well quick question when the paid period finish

Talk about the load board what new information you can get Regarding the status And when would it be surfacing for us to be able to use it

Is there a down payment or 0 down ?
No down payment
Ballon payments. What do you mean by ballon payments?

Are all the trucks on the website able to use for mrp?
No MRP trucks are typically 3 years old. If you wanted MRP truck just talked to Michelle when you get her up to phone or he will be your name and phone number and I can get someone to reach out to you. truckertodd806@gmail.com
Since I see swift pull Walmart reefer units…. can a lease / owner op get on that dedicated run? ( that way we know its consistent work)
Michelle would be better able to answer that question
Yes they can, my mentor and I ran Walmart trailers and he used to run that route solely. He’s an O/O
The reason I said to ask michelle, is they might be full right now. I know they accept owner operators but I don't know if they're full right now or not
I’m thinking about coming over to swift

Just out of curiosity do you know why those mrp drivers failed or turned their trucks in?
Yes the trucks on the MRP program are company trucks that have reached the age limit of 3 years when Swift would normally sell or trade them in. In order to qualify to be an MRP truck they have certain maintenance history requirements that the MRP trucks must meet to qualify for the program
Paccar motors are junk.

What’s an mpr?.
An MRP lease is one of the leasing choices here at Swift Transportation. I did a whole video talking about the three different leases here at Swift, you should go check it out it's pretty good
How long is the contract or is it a walk away lease
It depends on which truck you select. I no longer work there so you would want to contact them for the latest information since things could have changed since I left there
@@truckertoddllc did the samsura camera system make you leave. That’s why I left my company to much coaching. Looking forward to more videos thanks
No I was not required by the company to have a camera because I had my own insurance. I bought the samsara Camera still use it to this day but no safety department has access to the footage except me
are dart loads mostly under 20,000🛰
I would say that's a real tough question to answer. It depends on who the customer is and what you're hauling
