{"text":"I’m currently in school for my CDL we get seen daily by different recruiters today swift came in and they had a interested me.\n\nI know they have had a bad rap in the past but from what the recruiter said that they are #3 in safety and have a higher pay rate currently.\n\nIs any of that true? Are they a good company to work for? Do they have a good amount of home time for regional drivers? Just curious I don’t need them to get my Cdl Thanks in advance.\n","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyTo":"","text":"They are a good company to start with. \n\nJust remember every single one of those companies pay crap. All of the companies that train new drivers pay less. \n\nGet your 1 year in then start looking for a company that doesn’t take new drivers. Better pay better equipment treated better.

{"replyTo":"","text":"I got my training thru another company and went to Swift. I ran hard as an OTR driver for 11 mos. No issues. I didnt need hometime often but when I did, I got home. The night shift at swift is theeee worst, so if your a night driver try to line up all of your ducks before dark. if an issue arrives at night just be prepared to sit somewhere until dawn. Driving at swift is what you make it. Ive heard drivers complain their fleet managers were trash but then heard other drivers praise that same fm. i stayed positive, took my time driving and backing, and survived with no accidents. I had 3 mos exp and started at 37cpm but after 3 or 4 months I went up to 39cpm. I stayed for 11 mos and left at .41cpm. Swift is what you make it. i went to gain exp but I met drivers who had been there for 10 plus years making great money getting top pick of new trucks and special shop treatment and these were just the company drivers.","replyToPid":0}
