Pros

Good Miles, Lots of Terminals across the US, Newer Trucks, On-Time & Safety Bonus program. Accommodating to newer drivers. Swift will get you rolling when other trucking company's want you to take a refresher course and owe them $$$. Seeing the Country while getting paid. Most of all Swift employees are good people. Just drive and be on time to your destinations and everything will be great! I liked driving fro Swift.

Cons

Never on-time, for home time. (date requested). Driver managers like to hassle you if you take more then 3 days off. (I always took more then that).
