Pros

I never had a load problem like others complained about, though I hear now that has changed. Pay was decent as a starter. Truck was okay, it did the job, don’t expect a new truck when you first start, probably gonna get one with some miles on it. There are great people in the company but you gotta end up with them, some just don’t care. I wanted to be on the road with little home time so they kept me running good, though I probably was running harder than I should have been as a rookie-advocate for your needs!

Cons

Was a pain to get support when driver leaders/management weren’t around during office hours/weekends/holidays. They give roadside assistance/hotels hassles about paying for things so their drivers have to deal with the consequences-like sitting waiting for roadside assistance for 5 hours, have no one show up, call again, get someone to arrive 15-20 later. They want to do the job properly as they are trained to but they admitted the problems that they deal with from the higher ups. No wonder the first time, no one came. He fixed the tire, but didn’t replace it like he felt he should have. Had to run on PC to find a safe spot to sleep because the DC doesn’t allow drivers to do their 10 on-site. Don’t take great care of the trailers-had so many trailers with flat tires, finding an empty was a problem at times because they had a hole somewhere, a flat tire, etc. When I was there, their GPS wasn’t close to accurate, not going to go there on that: one of their own people told them to update it years prior but nope, they didn’t then.

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.

Don't work here

Pros

Good tuition assistance program (Although I've heard it's suspended for new employees).

Cons

The entire swift accounting department is a mess right now. About 70% of the team has been turned over in the last year, and there's no end in sight. Multiple leadership positions have been eliminated and replaced with staff level positions, people are being asked to take on new roles and responsibilities without any training, and then get berated by leadership when there are errors. A job was posted for a senior accountant with a listed salary range that was well above what the current seniors are making. When management was asked about it, they said it was an "error". The salary range was removed from the internal posting, but it's still listed on the linkedin external posting. Morale is at an all time low. Staff level employees are expected to work 10-12 hour days and into weekends to meet deadlines, and are met with zero recognition or appreciation. If you're thinking about applying in the Swift accounting department, I'd recommend steering clear, it's not a good situation.

OK Place To Work

Pros

The team I worked with was great. Healthcare benefits were affordable as Swift is a large company.

Cons

The pay was substandard and it was encouraged to pay as cheap as possible, which hindered long term employment for front line staff. The hours were long as well.
