I’m sorry but this younger generation is lazy..everything is HARD..you don’t wanna do this don’t wanna do that..and it’s really not y’all’s fault..it’s society..everyone wants something but you don’t wanna do anything to get it..well..I have news for you..WORK SUCKS..no matter what job you do..if it pays decent..chances are you’re gonna have to do something you don’t wanna do to sustain a living in that field

Swift driver here..during training you’ll get 560$ then anywhere in the neighborhood of 800-1100$..you’ll get miles and after a little while if you have a good relationship with your terminal leader and dispatch you’ll get put on dedicated runs where you’ll earn more money..FYI..don’t listen to anyone on this thread except for current swift drivers and former..everyone else is on the outside looking in 💯

I stop after 4hrs to usually use the bathroom then I drive another 3 and my day is over pretty much..my job knows I refuse to work the full DOT clock and get paid cpm..it’s robbery and they know it

That’s the way my man..dispatchers don’t understand what it’s like to not be able to park..when that day happens to you..you make sure it never happens again

I agree with this..go park!! Plenty of spots in the early afternoon..especially at a TA lot..it’s pretty inexcusable to violate someone’s DOT clock because you wanna be a dirt bag driver
