Me and you are in the same boat got my CDL in Sept 2023. Start with Swift in a few weeks. It's going to suck being away from home. Just need the experience.

If you work for swift you're a dumbass. Swift is the joke of the trucking world, everyone but they are aware of it. They pay nothing, hire idiots. Also there isn't any shortage in trucking, finding a trucking job is super easy

Congratulations Vilma and thanks for clearing things up about Swift. There is a lot of negativity on the internet but I believe we have the ability to make things work or not. I just applied today. I have my Class A but I have no experience as a driver whatsoever so please pray for me to succeed and getting hired. Stay safe out there 🙏🏽

Hey fellow swifty I’m currently with swift been with them for 8 or 9 months now I can personally say I have no clue why people hate on swift I’ve been loving them and my pay has been great that’s why it’s better to always have your own experience I’m on the dedicated church and Dwight account coming out of York and I’m home almost everyday and grossing 1600 to 2100 so it’s right about what you said to find your own path and get your own experience glad you doing well

Hi, I think after watching several KZfaq Swift videos, I think you are the best. I just joined swift and went through orientation and now waiting for my Mentor’s call. I am a bit nervous about who will be that guy and spending a month with a stranger is pretty awkward. I live in Houston, I wish you were my mentor

Exactly. Dispatchers can't read minds. So, stay on top of your game, by communicating, or plan to start whining when things don't work out.

The horror stories I could tell you about Swift! This was in 2015 /2016 I was driving for them. One pay check I got I brought home 36 cents after they took out the money to pay for training and the cost of the locks. This was not my first time driving a big rig. Back in the 70’s I drove a lowboy hauling cranes and heavy equipment. The life style sucks. There is no respect for drivers in company other wise. And I was coming from aviation as a retired airline pilot and corporate pilot as a captain. This was a nightmare.

Hi Vilma. Congratulations on your year! I've been with Swift for 7 months and also no complaints. I have been calling every 2 weeks to see if any dedicated accounts from my home terminal in Texas though. I'm OTR dry van. Have you thought of becoming an owner operator? Been thinking about it and just wanted to know if you have any thoughts. Shiny side up rubber side down!

Vilma, Can you tell me if they did any sleep apnea tests on you before they hired you? And if so can you share with us about it? My second question, is they first sent a conditional offer then sent me a job offer in California terminal letter with by hour pay. It confused me because I haven't attended orientation. What this your experience as well? I am living in the East Coast and I want to do OTR and they only hire OTR at this time.
