Everything you are saying and is still true, I just quit because of it after 3 months
💩FSTransportation💩 we don't have a shortage of drivers. We have a shortage of good companies to work for.
Right I bet ppl would drive better if they were getting paid better less stress
@@TruckerActivity2 no more like companies like Swift would not have a high turnover rate. Any company out there that has a high turnover rate says a lot about them.
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.
People who sit behind a steering wheel don't get rich. People who sit behind a desk do.
Swift is only a starter company its not made for a future trucking job .get your time in and move on.
All big companies are starter jobs
I started banging my dispatcher Liz at North American and got the best loads
You have to give to get especially as a new driver
After three years tractor was paid off and I was working for Tampa truck brokers with my own rig. Jumped a few small accounts bought more trailers and cleaned up
Lazy people work for big companies
You get what’s coming
NOTHING
Truck driving is a scam everybody think u makin money mean while they makin
More than u unless u doin local u live on the truck u never leave work
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).
I drive for swift intermodal in Houston right now and you speak facts! This company so damn cheap it’s ridiculous
Unfortunately that's why they have been in business so long..
I work for Schneider in Houston 😅 same deal over here too
I do intermodal here in Dallas and in struggling to pay bills and take care of my family…I was a driver for a moving company since 2018 but they started paying when ever they wanted so I quit, just started with swift in December and in really to get the hell out, just got all endorsements I need to haul hazmat
*NEW DRIVERSS!! If you are reading this, don’t work for swift, trust me…you will end up making more money at mc Donald’s no joke
I am currently in contact with them for their CDL program.
Long as your happy and safe driving a bus that's all that matters
Guy i should start with swift next week, tomorrow 9-10-24 i go to orientation in Dallas, yall think im making a good choice ,my recruiter said they will start me with. 44 cents a mile,,
😮😮 some of these companies be janky af smh
Yup, they gotta do better
When I got my cdl my starter company was swift average 700-800 a week quit within a year
I drive for Swift and quit. The pay was not consistent and you gone for weeks at a time with no pay. Every truck I drove I had to turn it into the shop. This was happening every other day and I wasn't getting paid breakdown pay. I left and now drive for a garbage truck company and I make more .
Yup, the pay isn't consistent. They dont like to do any extra payments.
How much were you making on average ? I’m about to start working with swift I heard the pay is 💩 I’m just tryna get my experience they told me I’d be regional working 2 weeks straight then 2 days home time they say the pay is $1300 a week on average I’m just tryna make sure they not lying about the pay 🤣
When I did OTR refrigerated, The paid loaded miles would be 2050 and the actual miles would be like 2400 miles. We got ripped off along with lower CPM.
I quit one regional job after making 600-800 dollar checks working 7 days per week. Can make that or more on a regular job and be home everyday
Yes when you see how many miles you aren’t getting paid it can make you sick.
@@TruckerActivity2 yup!!!
yup , the contract states zipcode to zipcode, not door to door off a electronic map. sad, this is that slick talk these big corps do.
@@eddiemoon5317 most jobs younget paid for all you time. Trucking you spend your whole life doing it plus free hours and even days of free work
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.
Yea I can see how that can be super frustrating when you gotta find your own fuel and repairs
Same here bro it don’t make sense why steal from your employees when they working hard for you
Document all that ish and take them to court
Roehl, svchneider and jb hunt have good horror stories. Get them girl😂
Oh wow!
Im with swift on a walmart account never see less than 1800 and i make 2000+ on very good weeks. I have 2 years experience.
show the numbers, we will wait.
I'm with swift and I make awesome money. OTR .. nothing under 14 take home
Hey bro..are u a mantor..
In this new economy it should be a law that no company can pay under 70 cents per mile
Lol super true
@@TruckerActivity2 it’s sad that 2k a week in some areas don’t make the cut anymore
I’ve been at swift for a month they told me I was just running regional reefer I’m out of Memphis I’m currently stuck in Utah and I only average 500 a week and I supposed to get 51 cent a mile according to them the math not mathin
A lot of these mega carriers only pay zip code to zip code. No matter the miles.
Yup 99 percent of them
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.
Facts facts facts playing a truck driver for a fool.Why move around lots of money and not getting consistently good pay.People please listen to this lady
Big Mega Companies Not Where it’s At .. Smaller Companies and O/O ‼️
There's a shortage of experienced drivers... Less then two years experience... They do most the fender benders and rollovers.
Thanks for letting people know
Just think a lot of senators Congress man are investors in trucking companies and yes they now just how much there ripping drivers of
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.
That’s crazy I been here about a year and a half,I must be one of the 🍀 ones.I started off at 60 cents I would bring in about $1,400 or $1,450 I just became a montor and damn pay did jump.like I said I must be a lucky guy.Hopefully you find your spot in the trucking 🌎Swift has been good to me.Also I am rocking a 24 tractor.
I work for Estes, and worked 40 hours and made 1500 before taxes and home everyday. Been here just over 2 years and $2 raise after the first 7 months and $2 more the beginning of 2024, at $38+ an hour now doing LTL
I tryed applying for Estes but got denied because no experience haven’t driven for 5 years
lol Estes smh 🤦🏻♂️
That’s 1500 gross , how much are you netting ?
@@watmedia4521 about $1275, but I’ll comment back when the this past weeks check posts.
@@eddiemestre7478 I applied and told the Terminal Manager I haven’t drive Class A since I got my CDL in 2001, but I was driving Class B for 21+ years delivering HAZMAT. Where do you live? I’m out of 116 Lakewood NJ
We should get by the hour..
So true
I don’t know about the Walmart account but I do know the dollar tree account pays about the same 1800 to 2100 primarily because you have to unload your truck with the rollers
Worse job ever not worth the pay way to cheap had an account with them lost 3 drivers because they said way to much work and pay wasn’t good so I dropped their account
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.
Not only trucking every company stealing from they employees...You make 800 too 1200 weekly and home every night keep that job...Because you not gonna get more then that...Hell they f#ckin O/O now too...
I’ve been watching your videos since you were Tyson prime and you have great content I wanted to ask you I have a CDL but haven’t used it in 7 years and want to get back out there but having a hard time getting local everything is OTR and don’t no we’re to go because there’s so much negativity in all these trucking company any advice we’re can I go
Thank you nfi
Just hit my 6 months at swift. About to start applying for other companies. Cheap as hell. I wanted to get a GOOD truck wash with engine cleaning for preventative maintenance. They told me i had to pay for anything above the most basic wash..
Serious question, is it worth using them just to obtain the cdl then go find a better company?
@@chuey419 yea but be very careful with your dac report there
True. Alabama Motor Express
Please do Western Express
They all do it! You also work 50+ hours and only get paid for 40!!
Wow that’s crazy
We all know that these mega carriers are only good for new drivers to get experience and then go work for a small company
Drivers are too loyal!!! Time to network and build relationships with a smaller carrier. Boycott those big companies and let's build from the ground up!
Get ur year in..for experience..than leave.

Get out of swift they are not a good company
Wow so I upgraded to a class A from a B for no reason. There are no trucking worth getting experience with.
Try Schneider
@@TruckerActivity2try none of them. Go ltl. You can run the road and make money. Educate yourself..36 cent per mile is disrespectful. I wish people told me when i started 20 years ago
@@shawnthegamer8252Super disrespectful, OTR should be nothing less than 2500 Net & up to a solid 3.3K net with potential of more
LTL the way to go.....
There is companies that are still decent. I came local after 3 yrs otr to a daycab job. I cleared $100k+/yr gross 2 years in a row working hourly 5 days of work and 2 off home everynight.
Swift is now the biggest Trucking company when they bought US express.
I use to work for them on their Walmart account at Pottsville, Pa it’s not worth it 700 to 900 a week after taxes that’s what I was making. They don’t give you no miles and I like to run, not short miles.. 700 to 900 I can go back to the warehouse and do forklift for all that.
how does Swift or any other big trucking company get to offer less than the IRS tax deduction dollar amount of $0.58 per mile. Do Truckers get both? That would make better dollar and sense.
Oh my goodness
I drive for swift currently doing regional the pay is ass. Im trying to stay and pay back the loan but naw im looking for another company
That’s horrible!
Like 👍 videos 😅😮Wo man 🧍♂️ 😊good luck 🍀 😊
Can you do a video on what to ask questions to ask or what to look for when going to a new company ?
Will do
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.
24 hours a day living on the job for weeks at a time. Still wind up with a lousy check.
90% turn over. Hasnt changed in 30 yrs. Gotton worse
Human key strokes in computer. O/O division never got paid full milage and fuel surcharges. One week paid milage only then another week fuel mileage. Simply keep you in debt received bare minimum. Truck in shop never received money down time. Loss money maintenance account. Insurance policy canceled behind my back several times. Create Carrier goid company.
I did swift intermodel out of Chicago & it was shit show. I only went because they paid hourly and I already knew Intermodel.
U know u fine
U thirsty bro
Simp and you wonder why these women leave you broke
Swift is cool…. If no one likes the account they’re on or lane they run you can always call placement to see what’s open because there’s plenty to do. 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.
Companies been doing PC Miller miles. That's from zip code to zip code.
Next, can you talk about greyhound or Peter Pan Baldwin?💙👏🏿☕️
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 🎉
Blessings on that brother..!! These companies make you earn it the hard way
Lmao you will never be home ever 100% and pay is so bad wrong choice of career
@@daimu7971 yeah you're Right!! Especially if you have a family that needs you home
@@daimu7971 thank you for input. By the way what do you do for a living?
@@xavcuttinoakatheinspiratio4353 trade options selling them I also own 3 trucks and they are on a niche cargo route with built in drivers
You shouldnt expect to make no money your first year of driving. Its just to get experience. You get money with the second company
I never thought about working for Swift. Yo!! This is crazy
Damn sorry you had to go thru that fr..my cousin was over there and he said the same thing 🤦🏾♂️ question..you from Baltimore? I know our accent lol but if you still in the city look up Spartan Nash they a real good company and we got a terminal in Landover MD
Thank you for the information
They still owe me lumber fees from twenty years ago about 800 dollars
I drove .for 30 years now I..work for mccadaols before I drive again
Yeah swift doesn’t want to pay you at all for all the things that were said and if you don’t know they not going to tell you anything
Swift walmart dedicated trash
This is why I left a year and 2 months ago
Trucking is one of the worst jobs one can do. I did it 50 years
Couldn’t been that bad if you put in 50 years
🚛💨💨💨✌🏿
Hello.
I see that you are driving for Flixbus .
May I ask you how do I apply is there a particular site.??
Gotta find a contractor and apply on their site
I have been with swift they are shit CR England is to
Werner is the worse company everrrr. 57 cpm with no miles
Swift is starting company k but I agree Swift n now Knight/Swift could do better on things like pay truck recovery n other things
But truck recovery that should be done by drivers that that's their job for the company that way issues are noted fixed n the truck cleaned before giving to a new driver
All the.companys. they're Al the same bull chit
Bunch of gangsters runnin these companies now.
USXPRESS DOES THE SAME THING
They definitely take advantage of new drivers. That one guy was right. I was getting 600-$750 take home pay a week solo otr after training. I got paid more during training some weeks. I was getting paid more as a dock worker. And home everyday. $900 minimum if your gonna be out 2 weeks for new guys.
Stop being a driver be a dispatcher 😊
How do they survive
By taking advantage of their drivers, government tax deductions for sponsorship of new drivers, and insurance claims.
Young Lady Trucker you dropped the science again
I thought the 20mins was the full video
Factz
Man it's vital for new drivers period to research and ask other drivers who to drive for. Some LTL companies like OD , SE, UPS pay on average 1300 per week and have weekends off. I work out at FedEx Ground for a company and I was hired and given a dedicated route back and forth to South Carolina each night and My first check was 1100 dollars 💵 net pay for just 4 days of work. The Truth is all of these trucking companies are looking to take a little bit here and there from their drivers. I mean the railroad BNSF is now laying off it's people, and Yellow Freight is out of business.
Keep GOD first because it may get worse before it gets better.
You work for the shortest amount of time and then do your own thing
Eliminate the middle man
Then grow it
Add trailers
Hire o/o to pull your trailer
Weekly pay outs
Drivers happy
Pass along the entire fuel surcharge
And drive your own rig and honestly
Get rich
I retired in 7 years at 55
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.
I haven't driven in about 3 years and just wanted somewhere to get back into for about 6 months and move on.
The recruiter couldn't zero in on my cpm to start. He kept saying they'd know once I get to orientation. 😂 I passed 😂
$900 a week is $1800 EVRY two weeks…that’s more than you make in the U.S army as a single soldier being junior enlisted.
Thank you for this!
You’re welcome
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.
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!!!
Most of the companies are criminal. After you get a year in , be selective about where you work and how much you’re being paid.
Ive been getting an avg of $1700 gross per week sonce the first pay day of 2024 as an otr refrigerated driver with swift and im getting .53 cents per mile
Mega carriers do not care about drivers. They will have you replaced in a heartbeat. The truck is making them money and thats all what matters to them
Do you still drive buses?
Not surprised trucking is not it use To be back in the days I'm happy in out the door as a Teamsters Professional Commercial Driver I feel bad for the Industry Know your worth
A good otr company should pay at least 90k. Most of these companies are ripoffs
I can relate, all facts
I’m in CDL school and I got offered .55 cpm is that true? Because they the highest paying companies that have been trying to recruit us at school
Yea it should be true
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
Yo boo, do a video on Gp transco if you can.
