Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Swift Transportation full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Lunch break is the only time your not watching work order times made by someone behind a desk that has never work in a shop.
Cons
Promotion packets were made to stop raises and contain questions for an employee that has nothing to do with the area or department that they currently work in which stops further advancement financially for an individual who has not completely filled out and tested on his or her packets.
Advice to Management
Hire more competent supervisors

Pros
Swift will hire almost anybody. No forced dispatch.Pretty good pay for a rookie, I average 900-1000 per week. An excellent place to get started in trucking.
Cons
Layover pay sucks. Getting a decent load can be like pulling teeth at times. I got dumped on NE regional which sucks, not a truck friendly area. No weekly home time available. Vacation time sucks 5 days after a year.
Advice to Management
Layover pay needs to be higher. Give drivers the option to be home 2 days per week . Come up with freight that drivers actually want not NE. More paid vacation time.
