SWIFT Corsicana, Texas CDL Academy Log
Investigating options and was originally considering Swift but then on the INDEED website I found loads of scary comments like its super easy to get fired from swift. Bad relationship with driver manager and you are literally screwed. The one that really caught my attention was the spycam on the dashboard. Another said Swift does not allow any power inverters, at all. Scratch the truck, fired, show up late, fired, cover the camera, fired. Lots of people stranded for days with no loads causing them to lose $. More people complaining they were only getting 400 (or less) miles per week.
Lots of negative stuff and I am a critical thinker and like to make my decision on my own based on information provided. This forum appears to be decent and not so negative but based on facts. Was also considering CR England but some of the previous posts are suggesting low pay and team driving where I am looking at solo. I like to cook for myself (eating out does not interest me) so if I can use a microwave or a portable cooker then I am in. The spycam has be seriously spoked and my recruiter is telling me I will easily make $65,000 first year. truth or fiction?
Someone please help set me straight.

G-Town, Thank you very much for the quick response. Reading the comments on Indeed gave me the impression they were made by disgruntled employees hence needing to find more information. New to this site and will be searching through the threads as you suggested (thank you). The camera had spooked me but need to learn more and thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I was initially drawn to Swift as the school is within close proximity of home (Chicago). Need to talk with recruiter some more about the salary. Cooking in cab, relieved and thanks again!
Thanks again for your help!
