I have been working at swift for one year

Truck driver
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Decent miles for company drivers, most loads are drop and hook.

Cons

Low pay scale, If you sign a lease with swift you no longer get decent loads, you make just enough to pay truck payment and a few bucks in your pocket. Swift often neglects to pay detention pay, if you follow up with calls and emails you might get it, you might not. All loads are still paid zip code to zip code, not actual miles (always at least 10% shorter than actual).

Long-Haul Truck Driver

Pros

Usually got me home on time, or sometimes a couple of days prior to my requested date. The people who work in the office are usually nice and helpful. Trucks are newer on average. Plenty of terminals around the country which makes it a lot easier to find night parking. Therefore, you can sometimes avoid truck stops which are usually full at night. It's "new driver" friendly. They provide training and a job with relative ease. You can get lots of miles, and it is not unusual to ran out of hours.

Cons

Pay is lower than other companies on average. Training must be paid back if you don't work for them for at least a year. Sometimes you have to sit around for long periods of time without making any money. Whether, it is waiting for loads or waiting to be unloaded, and sometimes you just ran out of hours and have to sit it through (sleeping of course). However, I have experienced the same things in all other trucking companies that I have worked for thus far. It's just the nature of the beast.
