Pros

Nice terminals. That’s about it.

Cons

I was denied by the first mentor after he found out I was Spanish. The second mentor bad mouthed me to the company as he broke all rules and slept in the back while I drove. He would talk racists towards Muslims and Spanish people. He kind of choked when he found out I was Spanish. The mentor even even admitted to me he won’t let any Muslims in his truck. Still till this day 2 months after graduation I have only been in the truck for 50 driving hours. I also don’t want to forget I got an advance for $106 to be taken out of my check and I had to use it to take a taxi back from the greyhound to my house.

Pros

Swift will hire almost anybody. No forced dispatch.Pretty good pay for a rookie, I average 900-1000 per week. An excellent place to get started in trucking.

Cons

Layover pay sucks. Getting a decent load can be like pulling teeth at times. I got dumped on NE regional which sucks, not a truck friendly area. No weekly home time available. Vacation time sucks 5 days after a year.
