Pros

Swift does have some pretty nice terminals compared to other company's I've seen. The insurance coverage was pretty good. They have great Safety and training departments and their online presence is superior. They have so much to work with if they only would.

Cons

There is just not enough room here. I did get loads but planners thought I had a rocket truck and did not plan loads for a 62 mi. hr. truck. Dispatchers wanted to call themselves "Driver Managers" or "Driver Leaders" when in fact they did neither. The DISPATCHERS assigned to me were rude and never gave all the truth. I ran line haul for a while. Job was supposed to be 9 hours a day. It turned out to be 13 and sometimes over 14. Then when I complained they would promise things would get better (things never got better) or would threaten to do away with my job all together. That and "Household Goods" routing did it for me.

Pros

Seems like a good job until you actually start working there.

Cons

By far the worst work experience I ever had. I worked in HR and the other HR leaders are nothing but unethical dishonest bullies. Don’t buy into the dynamic culture and great leaders that they try to sell you on, it doesn’t exist. People from the outside coming into this department quickly learn that they mean nothing. The existing team can’t handle someone new who actually knows how to do their job. I was lied about, accused of all kinds of things, excluded, and bullied all within 30 days of working there. And, the person who heads up the HR department stands behind them. Her only concern is the security and happiness of her girls. It an unhealthy and miserable environment to be in. Don't waste your time, talent, or efforts here, its not appreciated nor does it matter to them. I'm writing this because most people start a new job with good intentions and a desire to do a good job. At Swift, when you’re new and do a good job, you’ll get blindsided with this treatment before you even know its happening and nobody cares.

Pros

easy to get on and gain experience with as a carrier. I would recommend only as a last resort and need a job asap.

Cons

Swift Trans is a stickler for their "speed limit" of 62 mph. LOW PAY!!! They start their drivers with no experience off at 25 cents per mile.
