Swift backwards stands for Two Fags IN White Semi, See What I ****ed Up Today? There’s good reason why swift is made fun of..........u couldn’t pay me enough to work for them.....I’ve seen a lot of stuff in my 20yrs driving...Swift,JB, Werner hire some real ‘winners’ mostly Swift though.....
At one time, I remember being told they would team a new driver up with an experienced driver to train the newbie..........here’s where it get Bad.....their idea of experienced was someone with 6months experience behind the wheel....
I don’t know how true that is nowadays? Perhaps they wised up?... highly doubtful, see them do some pretty dumb stuff all the time.......They seem to always manage to get involved in some kind of accident.....He’ll, the one day I saw a swift trk got on the expressway and apparently never locked his tandems back in after delivering, needless to say he jab the brakes one good time and ripped the tandem out from under the trailer.....
No idea about their training program, talked to a few drivers that had the unjoy of working for them......From what I here they have a tendency to put bad marks on drivers DAQ reports, causing them tons of grief after they quit......love to report on DAQ reports that driver abandoned truck.. good luck getting that mark removed!!!! Also have heard that they try to push drivers into becoming trainers, & into lease purchase programs..........If I were u, and I was 20 yrs ago.....I would find a school and pay for it on my own!!! Do not listen to the nay sayers claiming u have to do OTR for at least a year!!! This is a blatant LIE..... I put myself through school,$5k financed it, then went and found me a local company to start with...it can be done, all u need is a good clean driving record! Yes, it’s not cheap, however nobody,and I mean Nobody will ‘own’ u for a year or two yrs. This gives them the upper hand and believe me they will use it to their advantage....
Yep, gotta keep your nose and driving record clean. Get some training and experience and you should have great opportunities. Good Luck.
I heard a story of a guy getting a close cropped haircut before testing. Applicant was told to drop his shorts & a pubic hair was plucked. He got the job-
