How often swift drug test you bro
@@SinoWorldTai companies do not drug test you often they only drug test you when they suspect you or get hired I never worry about that because I don’t drink or smoke
Swift is a great company brother. You still active with them?
I watched this whole video. Sorry to keep responding. But dude take ya gloves off when you get up in the truck
@@kenckman1359 haha I usually do and thank for watching! I got to make more videos in the future
So you went inside and left your truck at the pump???
When you get tired of the road come home and haul gas. I did it for 20 yrs. Easiest money I ever made

@@justin-reed I’m an OTR driver. Well, earlier this year, I ended my regional account with Walmart out of Casa Grande Arizona with CR England. Now I’m on the east coast preparing to come to SWIFT as an OTR Solo driver
@ how much exp do you have
@ 6 years exp bro. I chose SWIFT for my reasons. Most importantly, Swift works for me!
@ no need to justify. I don’t know your current situation or circumstances. Honestly, if I were you and I had at least six years of experience, I would try Walmart, fedex UPS, Old dominion or some other company that pays $90-$100,000 a year OTR
🙋⚡️💯🤜🤛
I'm starting at schneider soon any advice on what you wish you would of brought with you or what you would do differently
Just take 3-4 days worth of essentials. And drive what you’re comfortable with. If the speed limit is 60mph going around around a curve. Slow down to 50-55 if you dont feel comfortable going 60.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm in CDL trucking school in Cincinnati, Ohio now on my first week of training in the yard. This is very educational and straightforward and showing us what is it like being OTR. Thanks bro & be safe out there .. Also keep that frig full that fast food ain't healthy. 👍
@@Dante-f9m6q what company are you with? And Cincinnati? Thats awesome.
Bit of the same boat, just north of Cinci, but I elected to go with company training, I start with Prime on the 6th

That was a great video. No fluff. Just a ride along with great conversation and education. As someone who is about to enter CDL school, I'm glad I found this.
@@TheHossicle hey man thanks i really appreciate you for watching! Where you from and how long is the program? You learning manual or auto?
@@justin-reed I'm in Phoenix. The place I want to go is 4 weeks and does train manual but I'd have to do weekends so it'd be 8 weeks instead. Just waiting to see if I qualify for financing. It's hard to afford doing Swift training for 3-4 weeks with no pay so I'm trying to find alternatives.
@ check for gov grants in your area that offer financial assistance like Pell grants. Job Corp or duke some other program
Wow he netted a hefty $75 for all that I bet.

@ they local routes at the Memphis terminal. Im not with swift anymore . I been with a local company for 4mo
@@justin-reed which company? I'm slaving at a megacarrier right now and looking at the end of Feb-mid March to have enough experience that almost any better paying company is looking for, though really I can just take a chance on any job paying more when I'm eligible, but also I have found out in my life that sometimes you can just apply and get hired without meeting their requirements
@ absolutely do whats best for you. I started with swift at .43cpm and left making .51 Im local now making 2-3x the money
What state has the worst drivers on the highways?
Texas
I feel your pain when it comes to the landing gare bro it gets me every time
@@dappadiexecuta7846 now I put it in low gear first then high gear to get it off the ground
Bruh is swift pretty good man!
@@tavarisstewart6324 yeah, real good company to start off with. If you want more money, you have to get on a dedicated account or find another company after you gain experience
@@justin-reed ok gotcha I gotta do something else for my self man!
Try to stick it out til you find something where the grass is green with schedule pay, routes and work culture
@@justin-reed ok I gotta soon leave this job I'm doing right now man no money!
@@tavarisstewart6324 that’s how it was for me man. I know exactly how you feel. We deserve more money for OTR work. However there are thats that pay $$$$ after you gain 1- 2yrs experience. Like walmart, fedex, UPS, old dominion. Endorsements help too
680 miles in govern truck, RESPECT
@@abrahamjackson6019 appreciate it man believe it or not there are Swift Driver’s out there that have covered 700 plus. Some trucks go 68-70
I thought stops had to be approved by dispatch and premapped out? I went to orientation for Prime Inc but I left because it was so nasty there and I didn't enjoy all the Trump supporters there. I figure I can get my CDL through a local school. But one of the main reasons I kinda didn't want to do truck driving is having to pre map out the stops because if I had to use a restroom I had to wait.
@@simply_the_dev7588 drivers are captains of the ship. Dispatch can only give you loads. They can’t tell you what to do when you’re behind the truck. You eat or you want to eat you stop where you want to stop and more importantly you drive when its safe and shut down when you think it isn’t safe
I use to live in Ocala. There's 3 natural springs you can visit you would love. Silver springs, silver Glen and juniper springs.
You still with Swift?
@@kevincarlin8576 I will answer that in my upcoming videos 😅
I have a question guys, hopefully by the end of this month I start working for swift,,I dont have no experience,,I just wanted to know can you Denied loads to NY city,reason because ima be a new driver n I'm afraid to deal with a big city n bunch of traffic n I'm afraid that I mite get trap or get in a Situation that I can't get out of,,
@@gongutierrez4748 yes sir absolutely. Swift is “no forced dispatch” meaning if you dont wanna take the load, you can deny it fo whatever reason. I denied a route to New York my first month. After I accepted a few NY loads. Drove through city but usually delivered on outskirts of town/countryside. Like Syracuse, Buffalo, Amsterdam.
@@gongutierrez4748 hey gutierrez, every trucker out there was in your shoes Once I have videos of bloopers myself I need to upload them subscribe to keep up
@justin-reed thanks bro, n yes I'm kinda nervous going out of states,,to be honest I never been outside Texas lol,n hopefully I don't get in a situation that I can't get out off,,ima try to avoid this big cities like NY, I'm guessing the smaller the city, the smaller traffic is lol,,,but yes brother ima subscribe to ur channel,n hopefully I get a cool Mentor trainner that will understand a Rookie driver,,I'm from Houston incase anyone wanna be my trainer soon lol
@@gongutierrez4748 you’re already a good driver. If you can, drive in Texas in a car you can drive anywhere in a big truck. Letting you know right now, Texas (I10 and Dallas) and Georgia (ATL/I75) are the worst states to drive in. Ask any trucker. You’ll make mistakes, so look forward to it. Best thing to do when you do make mistakes learn from it.
@justin-reed I hope so brother and thank you for the motivation n positive words 🙏,,be careful about there n Stay safe
Good stuff man, going to CDL school here in a week. Have been considering Swift OTR vs regional because of the pay that is advertised. Do you have your own GPS / like a Garmin or do use your phone?
Get a Rand McNally atleast a 7 inch. About 430.00.. love mine! My personal opinion is they are the best trucker gps!
@@MrGrinchFPS I was looking at those too, thank you!
@@Linknelson You’re welcome sir! Good luck at school and just remember to take your time! Trucking is not a competition or a race. Take your time with your backing maneuvers, Get out and look as many times as you need to! Never blind side back if possible! Listen to your instructor and you’ll be fine!
@@Linknelson i look the location up on google maps, then use the gps Swift provides.
Dat damn Pennington 😂
@@Joedirty7 the smell wasnt there in this video. But man when I was in training I hated going down there.
@@justin-reed dats a stank ahh paper mill smell expired out dat bih
How often u gettin drug tested?
@@cashymac305 When you get hired and a random if they suspect you or if you’re involved in a crash
@@justin-reedEven thinking about coming to local? I know local doesn't pay much than OTR but it has better work/life balance.
@@leepialong I went local August 14, more home daily in 2-3x the pay. I gotta make video soons. Whether you’e going OTR, regional, or local starting, get some experience then move on to better paying jobs. some OTR regional and local jobs pay crap while some OTR regional and local jobs pay real good
@@justin-reed in general, OTR pays more than local because they will compensate the drivers being far away from home and live in their trucks. Even the ghetto Walmart starts out $100k for their drivers. If not, No driver want to be OTR.
@@leepialong no what I’m saying is. Some OTR jobs pay crap and some OTR jobs pay real good money. Some regional jobs, pay real good money, and some regional jobs pay crap. Some local jobs pay really good money, and some pay crap. For example, was making $.51 a mile when at the end of my time with swift. At my local job, I average 1300 a week. Been here since August 14
Congratulations! I’m a rookie driver too. I just racked up 690 + miles a couple of days ago. 700 in 11?
@@cbass7345 haha slow it down. You’ve got many miles to go! What was your starting point and destination? What company and kind trailer you hauling?
By you having 2 endorsements do you get paid more money
@@preciousseymour440 no. Because swift doesn’t require endorsements. you get access to more jobs that require endorsements like Fedex and UPS requires doubles and Walmart requires hazmat
Let's us know how your pay goes?
There’s all kind of sources for pay. Career websites, google, glassdoor, other YT videos
How do you like or dislike the International your driving? How does it handle on the road? How does it handle when backing?
@@davidshafer1872 a lot better than the freightliner Cascadia. It handles like a real truck. Freightliner just drives smoother. I really liked the international only thing i disliked was that it has a wide Turning radius when you try to u turn Freightliner Cascadia is just too sensitive when backing up or driving 1-10mph. It’s good for rookie driving

New subscriber here! 🎉 keep trucking 🤙🏼
Welcome and thanks for watching
Are you finding that other trucks give your parking spot a wide berth? It's like you get some extra parking spots all to yourself. 🤔😏 I'm just teasin' I'm sure you're nothing like your usual coworkers. hee hee hee
Let me find out Memphis got all the swift empties lol
Lmao
Swift also rents trailers to other companies.
You need a manual
Never heard so much talking for no reason when someone is trucking. Tip...if you don't remember if you need to slide your tandems back just look at the majority of the other trailers in the area you dropped in and that should give you an idea Tip 2...When manipulating the landing gear put one hand on the trailer as you spin it with the other. Will save your back from getting pulled some day
I got other videos where I dont talk as much. You might enjoy those more.
Rude af so your opinion’s irrelevant
New Subscriber
Bet. Thanks for watching
That's pretty good but the longest.I drove On A eleven hour clock was seven hundred and twenty five miles
Wow. Impressive. Is your truck governed at 70? Do you remember what route you took?
Swift driver logs 11 hours without a crash. Gotta be a company record.
Most of our million mile drivers are incident free. They’re the same drivers delivering your product needs and wants while you kick your feet up in the comfort of your home😊
@@justin-reed Man I saw a 2 million mile driver in a black swift truck. 2 million miles is crazyy.
@@floridaman964 yeah that’s like 14-16 years of driving. My mentor Achieved his million in 7 years 🤣 Swift has a lot of million mile drivers and multimillion mile drivers
😂
They will expect that every time...slow ur roll
Some advice from one driver to another. Always hook up your air hoses to the clamps to keep dirt and water out of the lines, also, when you are lowering your landing gear, Lower it until you got a half inch to inch gab between the ground and bottom of the sandshoe or landing gear. Then lower your bags. Great video.
Thanks for the tip. Definitely gonna start lowering my bags
@justin-reed anytime, brother.if you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
My bags are permanently lowered due to older age.
No, lower the landing gear all the way, hate that sh** then the next driver always has to crank it back up
Wrong@@nassiratti8542
New subcriber. I drove 10 years OTR and regional before going local. Regional was nice because usually your home on weekends. Local driving you have to drive back and forth from home to work. Good thing about regional is that you don't have to do that. Wake up and drive. If the landing gear is a pain I start cranking in the hi gear then switch to the lower gear. Hate when they crank up the opposite way
Usually landing gears are firm enough to twist, but this one was loose, even in high gear
God Bless you and enjoy your adventures. You're 1 of the select few that gets paid for traveling and sight seeing. I would always wash my clothes then shower. After put them in the dryer and go eat. After get the clothes out. A wire bound Atlas is best the cheaper ones will tear up
Lol yeah I had to use a atlas in the video. They were doing road work and NO big rigs were allowed on I20 in that area so I had to get on 220 and go around back on I20
