These comments about you shouldn’t be advertising you’re with Swift. Look all you need to have and maintain is a good driving record and keep the health within DOT regulations. Other than that…report problems with the truck when needed.
Consider TMC if you’re really into flatbed. I worked there for just shy of 4 years. Last year I was on track to make $80k and that was on their dedicated account in FL. OTR probably makes more. They pay very well.
It can be a great life if you enjoy travelling. Did highway stuff till my wife got pregnant then went logging so I was home pretty much every night. Never hauled vans always flat deck super B's. I liked the variety of loads. we grossed out at 140,000 pounds. 8 axles. it's the city driving I never liked. You got a good attitude so I think you'll do awesome at this.
Had a Friend that Drove for Swift for year's. He was an Owner Operator and Trainer. Everything was fine until early one morning he and a Trainie were traveling in Nebraska on I-80, they had just switched drivers and he was driving when he came upon a Overpass and just as he reached it he thought a flock of birds were taking flight from in the road. He then heard a felt wind coming through his passenger window and heard a loud crash inside his truck. It was a Bowling Ball that had been thrown off the Overpass the bowl broke into pieces when it hit the highway below and a large piece broke through his passenger side front window, hit the side of the passenger seat then hit the back of his tractor on the inside causing it to split out completely. There was a Van also passing him at the time and part of the Bowling Ball when through the windshield of the van on the passenger side, Seriously injuring the front seat passenger. His tractor was in the shop for 3 months before it was fixed. He only had 4 payments left on his tractor and Swift wouldn't let him ride and drive with another Owner so he wasn't able to make his payments and Swift took back his tractor and let him go
Damn, bro, prior driver move out on eviction??....broken cabinet pieces, empty water bottles, shit layin around, Id get that driver seat replaced if yur ass is gonna be planted in it.
Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV 🔴 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Comfy rides those Paccar products. I personally don't care for them. Not because they're automatics, but brcause they cant turn or back without a lot of work and know how. Much rather be in a Mack Pinnacle, international or cascadia. Don't have time to dilly dally trying to negotiate tight spaces in a truck that only has about 3/5 the turning radius to thr right than to the left. But hey, it's a comfy ride, and you'll sleep great.
I am not trying to crush anybody's enthusiasm...just bringing up some facts to attention.... If you didn't pay off the truck IN FULL and if you are not in possession of the truck's title with your name on it.... .....you did NOT get YOUR OWN truck!!! Nevertheless...best wishes it all works out for you and... STAY SAFE! P.S. More appropriate way to own a truck is to have a good credit and buy a truck from a dealership...that way if it doesn't work out with the current company, you CAN ALWAYS take your truck with you and sign on with someone else.
I've only had ONE issue SWIFT. I, however almost got run off the damn road because Celadon and Schneider were road raging amongst themselves. I've had more problems with Schneider than I ever had with Swift, no matter how bad they fuck up.
ignorant and pointless comment. He is excited about his first truck. Don't start putting negative stuff in his head. If he finds that he is being mistreated he will have time behind the wheel and be able to find a better job. besides I have yet to meet a driver who says the company he drives for is awesome.
@@vidnomics well if you want to think that I don't mind. But I have worked for enough companies to know that there are always the neigh sayers. The ones that ruin things for the new guy with their negativity. So I go to work for a new company now I ignore all the negative BS and most of the time it's people who are just unhappy with their lives in general. You have a great day sir.
@@stanburk7392 don't pay any attention to vidnomics, he didn't make the cut to drive with SWIFT. I feel bad for him, I believe everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves, but how many chances is too many?
@@eliwarmachineguzman9496 No, I gave Swift a whole year and tried 2 accounts with them. Verified garbage. Not to mention my mentor being bankrupt by them leasing their equipment. Instead, you'll see Swift double brokering their contract freight to third parties just because they're hauling for cheaper rates.
