Swifts Regional Dedicated out of Los Lunas, NM, For new CDL holders?

Hey All,

I was hoping to get some insight into Swift's regional dedicated routes out of Los Lunas, NM. I just got my CDL actually on 10-14-24 from CNM and was looking for a good starter position. I live locally in Rio Rancho, NM, and being NM, my options are very slim it seems like.

1. Would Swift be a good company to at least start with to get time in the saddle? I really wanted flatbed, but I am open to Reefer/Dry 2. How is the pay running a regional dedicated route? 3. It says weekends home, but is that true? Are you able to stay out longer if wanted? 3. Being NM, is there any other companies y'all would recommend that hire new drivers living in NM?

Again, I am totally new to the CDL world, but I have common sense. I have been doing my research and it just seems most of the companies I would really prefer just don't hire out of NM or this far west. I was really interested and thrilled for flatbed, but it seems I need more OTR experience for companies that do hire out of NM or move to an area far east that will hire new. I have no problem starting out low and working my way to the end goal though.

Thanks,

Brian P
