Have decided to become a trucker - a few ?s

Welcome and I can tell you that although I don't work for Swift they have a ton of opportunity! I have a friend that works for Swift and he decided to go local and did it with no problem with Swift. Now as far as what you hear about these companies it's complainers swarming the industry in general. Patience is important and many expect everything to go their way creating the whiners all over. You will find them at the terminal, truck stops, shippers and receivers on the CB etc... They complain about where a load is going, the miles with the load, and the load having to be done at night or early morning whatever the case may be. You name it and they will complain. You will learn that you decide how productive you can be by taking all loads and simply being on time. Earlier today I heard a guy tell our dm to f*** off with a load that picks up tonight bc he doesn't drive at night. Guess who is at the shipper ready for that load? Yep me. You are able to take home time anywhere like the others have said. I aim for a major city to make it easier for my DM to plan accordingly. Like you said you get out what you put in. Prove you are reliable enough to run the loads given and be on time don't limit yourself to certain states certain amount of miles the load offers etc. Sometimes the 300 mile load is setting you up for a 2100 mile load. Don't ask me how I know. good-luck.gif
