My question is how are they flipping you?
I get a pickup appointment, and delivery appointment, anything beyond that is up to me. I do sometimes have to drive at night to make that happen, but I have no set schedule. Are you saying all your appointments force you to drive at night for a while, then days, or are they actually telling you when to drive?
For instance yesterday I had to go pick up a load at 8 PM qnd have it back to the yard that night, finishing my run at 1 30 am. Today my load is from the yard starting at 10 PM and apt time time at location 460 miles out is 10 am.

As title says, only 2nd company to drive for but my first didn't seem to expect me to switch between days and nights nearly as often, this time around it's been 3 times in just a week, is that normal or am I at a bad company? Called to ask if I could get a more steady schedule, night or day driving I'm fine with either but rotating is rough, they said they can try but it just happens sometimes.

Does Swift train you in automatic or standard?
Went through training with swift starting in October last year, my trainer had an auto shifter. You train in whatever truck your trainer is assigned to or leasing, so depends on that. I know like 90% of company assigned trucks were auto shifter at the time as well.
