Companies have a shortage of good drivers the key word is GOOD. Trucking is McDonald's with a steering wheel. Companies are trying to keep profits up and over head down. That's why this industry is full of steering wheel holders and not professional drivers.

Yes they are scamming big time. The schools spitting out the students are in on the take as well. People are running to these schools and being lied to. The rookies go to these ain't about shit companies. Refurbished trucks, worthless mechanics and low mileage page because they think u don't know better. Some of the driver trainers are worthless too. The companies are making triple off the top and giving u crumbs. By the time u get it (pay) it's just enough to keep u. Unless u wake up and fight back. Overall it's to keep u from your families and destroy your health. ITS THE MONEY! They're not paying u what u are worth. So do something about it and make the right move while u still can. Your youth is worth everything. Notice the ones working in the office. Sitting on their asses and gaining weight. Because some sit behind a computer. Some have husband's or wives that help maintain their life style. They're able to go home while you're stuck on the road guarding/maintaining their loads. Getting paid decent pay but it could be more. Yes, the drivers are getting screwed. By the time u wake up it's too late! The OWNER WINS like the casinos in Vegas (House Always Wins).

Long as your happy and safe driving a bus that's all that matters

Bruh this is soooooo true!!! I’ve been with Swift as an owner operator nearly 2 yrs now. They be stealing miles from us every single day. Last week I had a load that supposedly listed on the tablet showing over 800 miles and including my phone navigation. Well as soon as I got dispatch my loaded miles was just 697 miles. Mann talk about I was upset and furious. On top of that I’ve had loaded mile loads showing 1800 miles and they’d only pay 1400 miles.

Then they'll pay you on the shortest route possible so you can lose 30 to 80mi easily. I had one company that paid me on all backroads out of TX to IN and it was like 150mi shorter lol they are dirty!! Generally you can lose like 150mi overall for the week. They know what they are doing and tweak it just right to not jack you out of too many miles. But if you have 3,000 to 10,000 trucks that 150mi less per driver is huge for a trucking company.

Swift Walmart account sucks if you work out of Temple, Texas as a lease driver. Normally lease will pay you a dollar a mile or more, somewhere up to two dollars or more in some companies. But they only pay $.85 per mile which is messed up. They said they were gonna pay that, or they let Walmart force them into paying the lease drivers that little.

Big Mega Companies Not Where it’s At .. Smaller Companies and O/O ‼️

When I got my cdl my starter company was swift average 700-800 a week quit within a year

Same in Australia

I never thought about working for Swift. Yo!! This is crazy

I was with Swift last year for two months. I only worked a total of six weeks. My first week they only had one load and it went 200 miles. And my last week I sat for 96 hours waiting on a load. And the other four weeks? I only made about 600 bucks. As a company car. Doing Regional refrigerated. They didn’t seem like an awful company, but I definitely felt like a number and when they told me they had regional guys making $3000 a week I couldn’t help but laugh. They wanted me to stay but I never made enough to even bother trying to. They’re very much a new driver company. They can bring in 2 to 3000 drivers a week from just training. And maybe if only 500 stay for six months they still have made a profit. It’s a terrible business strategy for long term but it works great for keeping the market. Pretty shitty.

I’m still in CDL School and I am in the last phases of it. Nearly all of the Big carriers to include Swift have reached out to me in attempts to secure me as a driver. I am being VERY careful with whom I choose to go with because I children and my family needs me to be rather close by so OTR is out of the question, possible Regional but I’d rather Local or Dedicated. I need the pay to at least match what I currently make or slightly more otherwise it’s like I’m wasting my time switching to this career. Great video 🎉

I currently work for swift on a dedicated account . She’s right about otr wait times , I’ve waited 4 days for a load one time and my lowest check has been $250 at one time .the driver leaders also take advantage of you when your new because you don’t know any better . I’ll be trying to find a better job as soon as possible . Since I work dedicated now , my checks have been a bit better . I average 950- 700 after taxes . Home every week

I think us Xpress not bad for the beginner level. They start you 50 cents and when you’re in training they pay you 650 a week. I just started with them and I’m going to upgrade this week, we see. I don’t like OTR I think I will start with dedicated.

I did swift intermodel out of Chicago & it was shit show. I only went because they paid hourly and I already knew Intermodel.

They go by map miles not actual miles most drivers lose at least 100 to 150 miles per load and that is how trucking companies steal money from drivers. They do not pay when your truck is waiting to unload or load your truck with wait time and if you are stuck waiting for a load over the weekend. This needs to be addressed and charged against the companies as fraud or taken to the labor board for money owed to the driver!!!

So true

It's called house hold movers miles. Most carriers pay from zip code to zip code. It's industry wide not just swift. The best thing you new drivers can do is find a carrier that pays percentage or hourly. I have been driving for 22 years and I can tell you find a shipper/ receiver that hauls it's own freight. Or get your license loaded meaning all endorsements . The more you can do the better the money is. Use swift like they use you, get educated get your wheel time and bounce. Mega carriers work off of numbers not people.

I don't like swift, but retread can be legit. Some tires are made for that. The thing that should make you comfortable is when there's an extra layer glued on. There's some that are made to be cut deeper, but IMO that's sketchy. Especially when 90% aren't made to be cut deeper. The ones that are have regual + tread depth thick in the base layer.

Stop waiting for someone to baby you and guide you. Trucking is made for you to maximize your earnings and set up for entrepreneurship…. This ain’t no regular job. For the guy that refuse to drive because of outdated paperwork, all he had to do was call and her it sent to his email, use the app, or have anyone at the terminal print it out.

Trucking is a cartel. No matter where you go. These mega carriers are the same. As in any business, they are in it for profit. Driver pay is an expense and will cut into that profit. They recruit with rosy promises. Once you are in, you are a number - never as a person. Bouncing around these mega carriers, hoping for the best, actually hurts your driving record. Go into trucking only if your other option is starvation. If you still can, go learn a trade. For someone like myself, who is outside the "hiring age bracket," trucking is a means to survive.
