Cons

The only issues that a driver would have is if the driver couldn't take responsibility for their own actions. It's easy to blame a company or a person for things that a driver could of changed before hand. A great man in corporate videos taught me something very valuable. "The power of one" think about what that says to you ? This applies to all aspects of human life decisions. We are power of one. Choices we all have. You need to ask yourself each and everyday. What decisions will I make today to reflect my future for a better tomorrow ??? Come to the company for a career bring great safety and work ethics and I will tell you there will be no cons to this amazing company. It's big enough to take on the entire world for transportation needs. However it's small enough to Remember the drivers and all employees names who dedicated themselves to be the best in class. This I promise to you. Thank you. Remember no company owes you anything. You owe it to your company to bring and maintain your best.....

Pros

Numerous terminal locations allowing mobility and relocation

Cons

Inconsistent mid level management, as a direct report emails, calls and VM typically went unanswered by immediate manager. Unchecked bios actions and continuous policy/protocol violations prevailed at management level by same manager openly. This manager had 7 direct reports leave Swift Transportation during my 3 year employment including myself.

Pros

Choose wisely before selecting Swift!! Many more options available!!

Cons

1st con: Equipment failure on a regular basis! Don't break down, little to NO pay!! 2ND con: Length of time on terminal repairs leaves the driver sitting!! Seem's like there ALL out to lunch! 3rd con: Avoid the terminals like the plaque! Showers are disqusting! 4th con: Not recommended at all for a "career company"! 5th con: Weekend staff seem to be alway's "out" for the weekend! 6th Con: While Swift is making millions, driver's are making peanuts!! More concerned about the freight rather than there driver's well being!! But then again, the BIGGER they are, the HARDER there going to fall!
