Pros

They take you right out of cdl school

Cons

It's basically the Amazon dsp of trucking. Absolutely worst pay, management, disrespect, and no life balance. Expect to make under $1000 every week. I could've made more getting their low $100 layover pay than actually working. I did over 60 hours and 3000 miles a few times and didn't hit over 1100.

Pros

Honestly there is nothing. Its actually criminal.

Cons

Got hired with the veteran exemption for the training. Understand that you must complete 1 year to be free of the payment obligation. Also you are supposed to be hire with a .55 cpm. I had to leave the company to address serious medical issues that appeared after 4 months on my own. The company said they understood adding that I would be able to return once my treatments were completed. Two days later Swift collections called advising that I had a $9000 debt to pay to them and payments begin in a few weeks. This debt will not decrease with tenure. You will not get the .55cpm and your most likely salary will be between $700 and $900 a week. If you have dependents for the insurance expect to pay nearly $1000 a month, and this will be deducted weekly.
