Swift Transportation reviews

Pay started at $19.25/hr + $37.42 per load/Deadhead. After being there for a few months, deadhead miles went from 30 miles, to 40, to 50, now 60 miles. To top it off, they moved our yard, so that we are within 60 miles to most of our customers, making it so we cant get deadheads. Best weekly pay was about $2,300, but since they changed the deadhead miles, pay dropped down to $1,400. If you ever need to switch shifts or positions, don't bother working here, I waited almost 8 months to get a schedule change for school, and never got it. Management kept saying "Check back in a few months for an update", but did nothing.

i was so excited to work for them a couple of years ago. i was told i would regret it but i still held a belief that it would be great. well, it was exactly what everyone told me it would be. they took me in and dropped me like a sack of potatoes when i needed them the most. in oct 2023 (1.5 years in) i was forced to stop driving due to my sons medical issues. they could or would not offer me a remote position so that i could continue working for them. i filed for unemployment and they lied to the state and told them i was working for another company and even had the nerve to say i left the company for another offer even though they approved my FMLA. from this date forward i will post my experience EVERYWHERE possible so that furture driver steer clear from Swift. every time i saw a negative ad or comment about Swift, I stuck up for them but no more. they have shown that their blue and gold/yellow trademark colors rubbed together eqauls RED.
