Pros
Good starting pay for new drivers
Cons
Trucks break down quite a bit.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Respectable pay for your drive time (although much better if you are on team). Good benefits which are pretty standard for most big companies. A fair amount of opportunity for home time.
Cons
Running dedicated is much more reliable and a safer option for trucking in my experience and with what I have seen. Unfortunately based on your home location and if you are tied to it, you may be very limited on the types of dedicated routes you can take. So in order to make more money do expect to be gone for more extended periods of time (not so much a con and more so just fair words of caution). Not everyone will experience this though I do want to point out as well. Circumstances are always different based on the individual.

Pros
Local driver with good hours
Cons
Having to deal with other drivers that are lazy
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Good training, nice coworkers, pay could be much better.
Cons
Starting pay and yearly raises were way too low
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Miles are there if you want it. Pay is good as you all know more miles means more money. Swift is not as bad as they portrait it to be.
Cons
Equipment sucks the company knows and they don’t care. They have a mindset of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, and when it does broke well just pray you are not the one with it. Do your pre trip. The dash cam system is so stupid it’s at the point where I just don’t care anymore. I know am a safe driver and I don’t care what a company thinks one thing they will not do is force me to drive their way.
