Pros

They will train you and ship you off with a mentor. The hiring process can be a pain. I had to leave the CDL school twice to get a new medical card but I'm glad I stuck it out with Swift. I drove OTR for 3 years without any issues, besides the usual stress of the OTR life. They will work with you to get you home on time. I'm glad I drove for Swift.

Cons

They need to streamline their hiring process so applicants aren't wasting time. They need to be better about getting the right mattress for their trucks. Drivers should not have to stop to swap it out for a bigger one.

Hi, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! We are glad your overall experience with Swift was very positive. We are constantly working to make improvements. The correct mattresses should be in every truck. We switched to memory foam mattresses in the last two years, which may have caused existing drivers to need to swap out their old ones.

Pros

I was provided a nice truck to perform my duties.

Cons

No work life balance and when the supervisor put the time off in wrong I was terminated via text due to lack of accountability. There was a death in our family and the added stress the company caused during this time was unfathomable. This was not my first time having an issue with people taking accountability. Some people have no conscience with regards to losing a loved one.

Hi, we are so sorry for your loss. Please speak with your driver leader/ terminal leader about your situation. This sounds like there could have been some miscommunication.
