The worst offender for all thats wrong in trucking, never work for Swift.
Cautious-Living-394@reddit
I don’t truck but I’m curious as to why it’s known to be a bad company. I know of the crashes, but what about other areas of them
J3wb0cca@reddit
My animosity is for JB Hunt. Wish I could get those 2 1/2 years back.
Cautious-Living-394@reddit
I’ve never heard from them. But if they’re willing to do that do you, I’m definitely steering clear from them
J3wb0cca@reddit
They would force full length tractor trailers (sometimes a pup if you’re lucky) to do home deliveries which is a nightmare. So many times they’d get to the foot of the road (not even to the driveway half the time). Just to reverse a mile or two when they hit an intersection. Our hub is in Spokane and routes to the boonies near Darby, Joseph, or Kalispel would happen a couple times a week. When I left at 2 1/2 years there were 6 other drivers. One of them, my buddy, was there for 2 years. The rest less than 2 months. 8 accidents occurred and tow trucks were required probably 30 times. I myself had 6 truck breakdowns in those shitty internationals. And when you’re waiting 4-6 hrs for a tow, you sit there and realize with a total 19 hrs before you hang up your keys you made like $16 an hr. Pay per route/service is a croc of shit. Not to mention I used to daily haul pelotons and French door fridges up and down stairs and assembly/pick up.
Sorry for the rant, when I buddied up with other drivers all we did is talk shit and we could go on and on. Just do your two years for CDL and get out. The starting pay isn’t terrible, just don’t break it down into hourly.
Contemplatetheveiled@reddit
Tbf any final mile service is going to be the same which is why most are small owner operators. A company I was at helped a customer with extra final mile deliveries and it turned a great job into a nightmare real quick. I think JB Hunt was light years ahead of Swift as far as being treated like a person and getting some sort of compensation for everything that you do. I lasted 3 months at swift because they thought it was fine to sit around at truck stops for days waiting on a load. I never sat for more than 2 hours at JB unless it was at a shipper/ receiver or home. They also never complained about me using the truck to go to a truck stop for a shower or food if the wait at a shipper was gonna be a few hours. Swift lost their minds when I went a few miles to a truck stop, fueled up their truck and took a shower instead of waiting for 12 hrs for the correct appointment time they messed up.
duhrun@reddit
No pay for breakdown, layover, detention without hurdles and still most likely wont get. Training company business model hires lower paid new drivers then fire cycle rinse and repeat usually accident based for non safety inadequate short training period. Hometime system 90% late days, weeks, or months. No apu and strict idle policy, bonus system that from what I have gathered is not attainable by most drivers I have spoken to. Planners/dispatch system exploits offering then removing loads to not pay layover, offers best load when going home for hometime late as mentioned before.
Read the internet it get some things correct, Swift being a horrible company for the mass majority is usually correct. They could be the face of change but no, infinite growth paradigm rules all.
Cautious-Living-394@reddit
Wow that’s terrible. But I believe it. It makes sense that they’re relying on marketing to promote their business and then have a short term plan for those new hires. That’s terrible
sbcountydweller@reddit
Idk. I know the jokes as well. But I know a few guys that drive and are happy with what they get out of it.

GalaxticSxum@reddit
lol. A swift truck took my friends front number off during its turn and just kept driving lol. We had to do a loop around the block to pick his bumper up
Afraid-Barracuda119@reddit
We drive for swift…
After a million miles we get to pick our own truck and color. Lol 🤦🏻♂️
L0quence@reddit
That’s the promise cause swift knows none of their drivers ever hit a million miles and still obtain a CDL
HamiltonSt25@reddit
I saw a 3 million mile badge the other day. I thought that was pretty impressive!
Kimjundoom@reddit
Out of gate- gonna say I’ve never worked for them, but;
All of the hate Swift gets, is imho just because they’re so god damned huge.
There are good swift driving jobs, they have an assload of dedicated accounts.
They have to hire in so many people, because it’s a huge enterprise.
Sure, they hire new guys, and new guys do dumb shit. I’m guilty of it. And anyone worth his salt is too. There’s plenty of guys working through a career worth of trucking at swift, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Tsndumbass@reddit
I mean sure hire a lot of people law of averages blah blah blah but can we talk about how they are offering the bare bones to an otr driver
HamiltonSt25@reddit
I think because we see so many videos of swift drivers fuckin up. But like you said, they’re huge! So of course they hire some not so great drivers sometimes. It happens in any profession of a big company. So I agree with you
Kimjundoom@reddit
You must’ve come in before CRST curtailed their operation.
It was almost a weekly tradition you’d see crash and roll stunt team parked in a ditch, with the gold rush trailers facing the wrong way.
My oh my I’m getting old. 🤗
KarmicEQ@reddit
The early days of Schneider was always exciting. I saw a few in the ditch BITD. Always made me grab the wheel harder.
TastyWave908@reddit
Early days they started in 1935, you’ve been on the rise a long time driver.
KarmicEQ@reddit
Yeah but that era, where companies were beginning to consolidate, offer lease "deals", and rapid expansion, is what I'm talking about. JB Hunt's Quantum agreement with Walmart and BNSF and the push to crush O/O and small companies, driven by Prime, Schneider, England, &etc... There was that slew of unqualified ditch cleaners that seemed to be everywhere. Schneider was the original Swift.
blowmer69@reddit
Get it right!!! It's actually Cedar Rapids Stunt Team. C'mon now.
Xavierphillips702@reddit
I loved my time at swift. I did the Walmart account when I was new to trucking and I should have stayed but I will say when Knight bought them it improved some things but not all.

9 years clear driving never hit a damn thing so no not everyone
tatter14@reddit
Back in the early 90s, Swift governed all their trucks to 55 mph. Effectively cutting those guys pay down drastically. High turnover and lack of experience then earned the bad reputation that still haunts them.
mctwiddler@reddit
I'm never surprised when I see a Swift, JB hunt or FedEx truck driving slower than traffic in the third lane.
Apprehensive_Many214@reddit
We had a 7 million mile driver at my old company. He started with them when they started in the early 80s. Only trucking company he ever worked for. He did teams off and on but was solo a lot. I met him once. Had to help him get to a new customer. He had a flip phone only. His wife signed into his account at home and did his monthly training for him. He said he didn't even know how to turn a computer on. He had a lot of trouble using the Nav on his omnitracs, so he avoided it as much as possible. I showed him our new customer on Google Maps. Then, he showed him how to find the entrance on trucker path. Then, I showed him how to get the coordinates from G Maps to put in omnitracs. He just shook his head and said thanks, but he still wasn't about to buy no new phone. 😆
WolfOfPort@reddit
Wow wonder what his body/trailer count is
Baddy001@reddit
All bs Aside, I'm willing to bet they have thousands of million mile drivers. They have like 10k trucks. Ive seen several million miles and I've even seen a 3 million miler a few times.
I would even go so far as to say they have more million milers than the average size of a big trucking company. They just have so many trucks....well you know what they says about quantity over quality
YellowOne5358@reddit
making shit money for 3 mil miles is sad
Drak3l@reddit
Used to work with them. Every terminal gives their million milers an award, with their info on it (as one usually does), and hangs a copy in the driver lounge of their home terminal.
There's something like 30 company terminals, and most have at least 10-20 awards on the walls. Phoenix has closer to 100+, last I saw.
Quantity over quality, absolutely, but your entire post really isn't far off the mark, by any means.
steeleon1972@reddit

AdministrativeTop655@reddit
Unfortunately, you can only choose from their stock of trucks.
dsmityy1334@reddit
Nope. A buddy of mine just hit a million with them, a couple of months back. He picked a burgundy red, mid cab Frieghtliner(Flatbed Driver). They ordered the truck and he goes to Phenix to pick up, in three months.
potodev@reddit
Was he not allowed to pick a Western Star?
dsmityy1334@reddit
Thier flatbed division was pretty much all KW T680's. Last fall they began switching them out with new Freightliners. He actually got a new(less than 1,000 miles on it) truck last fall, and really likes the set up. So when he hit the 1 Mil mark, that's what he picked, but he got to outfit it, the way he wants, and picked thw color.
potodev@reddit
Doesn't sound too bad. I've had a few new trucks with my company, but didn't have to put in a million miles for em.
chubs_in_scrubs42069@reddit
So you basically get to pick what color freightshaker you get 😂
airzsFDXbrother@reddit
Unacceptable! False advertising!
Afraid-Barracuda119@reddit
Lol. I know right. They’ll look at you all funny cross eyed
airzsFDXbrother@reddit
Like “wait they make 18 speed transmissions!?”
Afraid-Barracuda119@reddit
😂 lol. I can see it already
CobraWasTaken@reddit
Funny because "pick our own truck" literally just means the brand. You don't get any extra options, don't get a different engine or transmission, and don't get an APU. You get a swift fleet truck just like the rest except it's the color you wanted.
Afraid-Barracuda119@reddit
Which is still prob only 2 colors. White or blue because that’s all I ever see. Even with the few guys I see million miler written on the side of their door.
CobraWasTaken@reddit
Nah they'll actually let you pick whatever. I've seen a few black, red, green, pink, purple and so on. But after driving a million miles, BFD.
Afraid-Barracuda119@reddit
They say it in this video like you’re gonna hit a million miles in the correct time frame a driver should. They are about 5+ years past that time frame from all the horror stories I ever read/heard
CobraWasTaken@reddit
Yeah it takes a while to hit a million when you're doing 1500-1800 miles a week. Don't ask me how I know.
dsmityy1334@reddit
I mean, I averaged 2,500-3,000 a week with them. I made over 80k my first year trucking.
CobraWasTaken@reddit
When was this? When I left in 2019 I'm not exaggerating when I say that I could not even get 2000 miles in a week. It wasn't always like that but that's how my last 6 months were there. This was OTR dry van too so maybe other fleets don't have that problem.
dsmityy1334@reddit
I ran flatbed for them From Apr 2023, to Apr 2024. Now I've moved to another company, with better pay.
Afraid-Barracuda119@reddit
lol, hey we all been there, so don’t worry. I was there once in my career, but that’s been a while ago. Hope you found better pastures
CobraWasTaken@reddit
Yeah I left them behind years ago. Currently working for a company that I can get more miles than that in a single load.
Afraid-Barracuda119@reddit
Awesome. Glad you are doing good. 👍
freightliner_fever_@reddit
I'm on track to hit a million by year 8. idk if that's any good, but I do between 2k and 3k miles a week consistently
Afraid-Barracuda119@reddit
Year 8 is decent. Can’t complain about that . I did a million in 7 years and 3 months. We aren’t far off
finitetime2@reddit
That's right pick your own color. They never said you would get a new truck. Just that you could go out on the lot and pick a color from any of the trucks out there.
You can pick your own color at my company also. As long as you want the white one, the faded white one or the really old white one.
Marvin2021@reddit
You mean you get to pick which truck your driving today, with a million miles on it

SchadDad@reddit

L0quence@reddit
Lmao these broads don’t even know how to move an 18 speed
nanneryeeter@reddit
18 speeds are the easiest of all of the truck transmissions. Also my favorite.
L0quence@reddit
Never drove a 21 but I feel once you grasp the concept of an 18 or any standard truck without the stupid dbl clutch method, it transfers across all of them. Some will drop rpm’s real fast and others not so much. But if you just let off the throttle a little bit to pop it out and slowly lower rpm with your foot on the pedal you can get it in the next one.
nanneryeeter@reddit
18's are easy because the gears are all so close in ratio. Especially nice when you're really heavy. I occasionally haul 105k with a ten speed and really rather prefer not to.
L0quence@reddit
Oh shit yea no if I was hauling that heavy I’d want at least an 18spd. I just haul fuel in Tandem or Tri axle trucks. 1202/1203 and Kerosene the odd time. Those 10 speeds don’t have a splitter do they?
nanneryeeter@reddit
No splitter. It's rare that I get stuck with a ten speed unit. My usual ride is a c-15 that iirc has an aftermarket tune for 675. It moves pretty well. The ten speed is a on an ACERT truck.
Moist_Tortoise@reddit
Most guys don’t know how to move an 18 speed 💀

Most LTL carriers will train for free, pay you while being trained, and the pay is far better then anything swift will offer.

gear_jammin_deer@reddit
They mean exactly what they say. A majority of Swift's drivers haven't driven over a million miles, but when I worked there, I saw green, red, purple, silver, orange, and even lighter or darker shades of blue.
cbree_zy@reddit
So do they mean ANY truck, or any truck brand? If I said I wanted a Pete 589, would they oblige or could I only pick a 579 with their preferred specs?
RaspberryCai@reddit
In that case I'll have a Renault Magnum
gear_jammin_deer@reddit
Any truck of the trucks Swift already buys. You get your choice of a brand new T680, VNL, LT, or Cascadia, in your chosen color

My thought is always "Why would any quality driver STAY with Swift for 1 million miles?" I started with CRST which has a similar reputation (for good reasons), but even before I got to 2 years with that company I found a higher-paying local job with better benefits.
Are the good drivers who make 1 million miles just too lazy to look for another job before that point?

In my opinion swift is the perfect example of everything wrong with American corporations.

They gave me a local gig, what they didn't tell me was it was 18 an hour no overtime. After a month I told them I wanted on their dedicated Walmart account in my area, my terminal manager said no we don't allow our drivers from this terminal to transfer to that account, went to the Walmart DC and talked to the swift terminal there and they told me the same thing so I said okay I quit. Got my endorsements and went LTL, best decision of my trucking career.
Victorious1MOB@reddit
ltl and linehaul is the way to go now that I’ve been thru the trucking guantlet.
Did otr, dollar tree dedicated(physical 100%touch freight), front loader trash truck, soda delivery(physical af) and finally doing ltl and line haul… super good money no touch to maybe pallet jack a pallet to the rear of the trailer…. Best advice get fully endorsed and go Ltl / linehaul. Best of all I’m home every night
YourMomInTheCloset@reddit
I used to do linehaul and now I switched over to get some hazmat/tanker experience. I’m working 65 hours a week hauling nitrogen for the same pay as when I was doing linehaul working 45 to 50 hours a week. Yup, I’m jumping ship and moving back to linehaul. What the fuck happened to trucking?

Well, is anything they said untrue? Granted, I’m sure they’re not telling the whole story, but I’ve also met people who drove for Swift for 20+ years and whatever reason they stayed for, they did.
You shouldn’t be surprised comments are turned off. All it takes is a few minutes of listening to Channel 19 to figure out why they would. Swift makes a post and leaves comments enabled, that’s pretty much dumping blood in the water in the middle of a shiver of sharks. Same holds true for any of the other big box carriers.

Are swift/us xpress and knight all under same?

Any driver worth their salt has left Swift long before they hit the big 1 million.

Hey Sharel, I know you work the phones and have never drove a truck. Want to be a video? And no you wont be compensated or even given a compliment from management for it.

We drive for swift, of course we crash into buildings while trying to make a u-turn in a residential neighborhood.
RayAlmighty13@reddit
It’s not just the drivers though. SWIFT has shitty dispatchers and management.
FastSuggestion5@reddit
Swift still starting truckers at minimum wage?

Wasn't there a woman who posted here not long ago saying she was raped by her swift trainer?
I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was a swift driver.
sputnikatto@reddit
Thought it was western.
Zodi88@reddit
Yup it was
functional_moron@reddit
And she wasn't female.
AndromedanPrince@reddit
it was a trans person if u read the profile. idk how factual it was, seemed off but if true, trainer thought because they use to be a man it was an easy target.
Lopsided-Original865@reddit
I'm not saying she was lying, but I looked at her profile, and she seems to be the victim quite a bit. For her sake, I hope she was lying, but if she was telling the truth, I hope there is SWIFT justice. Too soon?
ZAHN3@reddit
Never to soon 😜😂🤣🤪😝
SockPuppet-47@reddit
Seems Right
Her story sounded like it wasn't his first time either...
bob696988@reddit
They are not giving you a truck for your own but my gf is an owner operator for them and she has well over a million miles like I do with no preventables or incidents.
No-Cicada9534@reddit
Lies!!!

They should dub it in Punjab

Everyone hates on Swift… but what you don’t know is most of your loads come from Swift’s brokerage 😂😂
HighwayStar71@reddit
I saw an ad for Swift at the fuel pump once that showed a picture of what looked like an African driver saying "I bought my mom a house!" What it didn't say was that it was in Nigeria.
Fantastic-Idea3477@reddit
I'm pretty sure those are both actually men
vadroko@reddit
Who is the demographic that that's aimed at? Been in the business 12 years and literally no one I know would even wink an eye at that. Effen 'ell.
RyuKirito@reddit
They are swift! Of course they crash into everything!
Suspicious-Loquat594@reddit
Really makes you think twice about what they really meant when they were talking about hitting a million miles... 🤔
Suspicious-Channel70@reddit
i drive for Swift and i can’t wait to get out of here! searching jobs…
justanotherupsguy@reddit
Swift comes with desk assigned lot lizards
Knight_thrasher@reddit
Swift can’t afford me.
Pitiful-MobileGamer@reddit
I can imagine that the safety staff at Swift must be in high demand in the industry, you just need a couple weeks on the job and you gain years of claims experience.
North-Profit-1211@reddit
Probably class b drivers
dannyb0l@reddit
I lasted 5 months working for swift, complete crap company and embarrassing

No SWIFT fanboys? Huh. Its almost as if theres less and less as they slam into low bridges. Shame.
