Those new KW are definitely a beautiful truck
Im currently in a 2006 KW but Thankfully stilll runs grear and looks new inside
Swift treated me damn good as an owner operator....❤
U still there and they keep yaa running and the money there
Yes I am still with Swift. Back as a Owner Operator. Driving out of the Phoenix Terminal.@@cheikhfaty2903
I"m company, and freight is NOT mostly drop & hook. I rarely get those. I either get live loads, unloads, or both.
Are you reefer?
@@spankythegamer1964 , Dry.
I can tell you that 90 percent of mine were drop and hook. Sounds like you might want to go lease. I can’t tell you what a company driver gets because I’ve never done that.
Gotta learn your lanes bro.
@@purpleyeti705 , you can keep your lanes.
I have been with christenson 4 years and i applying for swift
Good information. I’m 31 year veteran truck driver. From company to independent O/O. Never been a lease driver. I see many benefits to this segment of trucking. I especially like the MRP on paper. Would love more info. I’ll email you with phone info.
FLY RABBIT, HEY BROTHA I AM BACK IN PHOENIX AS OF THIS WEEK TO ENTER INTO ANOTHER LEASE WITH SWIFT. SWIFT IS THE REAL DEAL.....MANY DRIVERS DOING WELL OVER 6 FIGURES HERE AS ANOTHER DRIVER I SPOKE TO AT THE TERMINAL YESTERDAY. IF ANYONE IS CONSIDERING SWIFT...I SAY JUST DO IT. PLEASE JUMP AND GROW YOUR WINGS ON THE WAY DOWN. SWIFT IS THE REAL DEAL!
Awesome you can definitely do it hete

If you wanna be an owner i advise to do it......!
There seems to be some confusion on YT. Lease purchase doesn't make you an O/O. You don't own anything and probably never will.
I couldn’t agree with you more. If I’ve claimed that through any of my videos, I am sorry, but I understand that I am a lease operator. Unfortunately, that is how Swift labels everything owner operator. But once again, I don’t know if I would ever want to be a true owner operator, because with the lease, something goes out, it gets fixed, but we’re still making somewhat the same amount of money. Not arguing, not making any kind of stupid discussions about this, but there are reasons why people do different things. This is why I do what I do.
thanks for the content..very helpful...Bullet, hope you like that
Thanks for the comments
I’ve heard terrible things about the new kenworths and Pete’s with the mx13s, and even worse about lease purchase programs, the worst case being leasing a truck from the company that gives you your freight. You really need to go find blue ribbon logistics here on TH-cam and learn ya something. Good luck mate
My truck has Cummins x15
Hippity Hop sounds like a cool name to me lol
You got good videos keep them coming
Thank you very much and I will. More ideas too.
Name it Papa Smurf 😊
Hi, I’m about to become a Owner Operator in a week. I’m kind of nervous but excited.
I’m here in Dallas. Any advice to run 2500 to 3000 miles in a week. Where to run in the U.S?
Any apps? Should I do dedicated or OTR?
Like what’s the best path to run a lot of Miles?
Email me at flyrabbit@mail.com and leave you number I’ll call you
Owner operator in swift? If not then go to Landstar you have loadboard there and choose where to drive and when to work
@@aitransportservicesllc584yeah but u gotta have hazmat
Hey how’s your lease purchase journey going with swift leasing? Is everything still going ok? Are you still getting loads? Because I heard people were sitting sometimes without loads
I haven’t had any issues at all. I’ve been running my ass off 2800 to 3000 miles every single week.
@@iamtheflyrabbit thank you so much this is so helpful!
How hard was it to get into a KW? I’m looking at coming on but only want to go into a KW or International.
Not hard at all just tell the recruiter
Coming there right after Labor Day! Let’s connect!
Please email me your phone number and I’ll call you. Flyrabbit@mail.com
Same I’m drug testing now then truck shopping. Is there a group chat started ? 👀
@@RuthlessSantana yo I’m not sure but if not let’s get one started!!
@@RuthlessSantana did you use my driver code? Email me if you have any questions.
I can and will do
I'm suppose to pickup a 2024 volvo from Atlanta terminal in a week. $500 upfront. Been hesitant. With the sliding pay scale I'm not sure if I will make alot.
The sliding pay scale is awesome most you will do will be the 1.15
1.15 a mil? 😂😂😂 omg that is insane this is part of the issue with big companies how is that GOOD?
@iamtheflyrabbit damn bro I complain when a load pays less then $2.50 per mile
@@thetravelingmonkey889 swift paying 1.15 so get used to complaining hs
I want to be a owner operator so bad man
one day at time it will happen for you sure!
I run on percentage. You can't make any money running by the mile. I've done. it after about 7 months. I went back to running on percentage it's a big difference
I made 240k last year gross about 125k to me
@@iamtheflyrabbit Hi. Sorry, you worked 12 months without a day off for 240000 gross?
How difficult is it to get into a brand new KW like yours with Swift?
Honestly, it’s the luck of the draw there really isn’t any rhyme or reason they don’t have any new trucks coming in until next year but if you get lucky someone quits, you can get one that has a few miles on it
sorry to ask if someone asked, could you brake down all expenses that you have to pay? Are some expenses monthly or weekly? Who pay insurance for truck, and also taxes?
You are responsible for all expenses and taxes. Fixed costs are about 1100 a week which includes truck payment insurance etc. please feel free to contact me direct at my email leave your number and explain in more detail to you.
Sir, may I ask at Swift is this a "walkaway " lease ? And if you could explain exactly what liabilty are you on the hook for if any ? I feel like I need to be an attorney to sign a lease/operator agreement with these carriers... Thank you sir
Technically it’s not a walk away lease. Most companies don’t offer that and even though they tell you it’s a walk away there still are charges that will occur. Please feel free to email me and I would gladly explain in more detail. Email me your phone number I’ll call.
Well I can tell you my biggest worry is a mechanical failure that I am liable for that may not be covered by the warranty and/or the maintenance agreement. I am not concerned too much about if or how much equity I am building in the truck. I am more interested in the business as an income stream consistently producing as long as I am in the truck. But if for any reason I had to leave before term is up, I am concerned that legally I could personally be on the hook for more than I am prepared to pay... @@iamtheflyrabbit

Hello just checking if Swift leasing program they keep yaa running and the money there and you stil there or I’m just want make sure is miles there and money

Hey I would like to ask you a few questions about the lease program. How would I get ahold of you?
Email me at flyrabbit@yahoo.com leave your number I’ll call you

I could use a referral for swift
Steaj2 is my driver code
Do you get paid the first week or are you a week in the hole?
Anything you work up until Wednesday you will get paid the following Monday
How about Haley's Comet?
That’s funny! I’m actually going to use that! You hit it on the ball. Please email me your address and your full name and I’ll give you credit in a video. Also 50.00 gift card of your choice just let me know. Btw that’s my daughter’s name if you didn’t know.
@@iamtheflyrabbit I know. You mentioned it in your video of the walk-around of your Kenworth, which gave me the idea for the name. No worries about the gift card....keep the cash to buy fuel. But much appreciated. I'm not a trucker, but my wife and I always loved truckers. If I ever see that truck with that name on the side, I'll know I made a contribution to a good cause. ✌✌
Name submission Smurfette
That’s a pretty good submission! Your very creative.
Are you still with swift
Whats the fuel surcharge this month?

Sir are still with swift and how is lease working out for you
Everything is great here making money$$$
@@iamtheflyrabbit thanks
I have 23 years otr and just tryin to find out if i can jump straight into their lease program or would i have to drive company first
@@user-to9em9ii2x you can jump straight to the lease! All you need is 1 year.
How do you run 2,800 miles and only make 1,500 - 2,000 WOW..... less then a $1 a mile....
Lol it’s crazy I currently get $3 a mile loads in Landstar

I appreciate your comments on what your making but honesty I am comfortable where I am. I don’t put up with the usual bullshit that a spot market person deals with and I can go home anytime I want and not cost me too much.
Too bad Swift, you lost your opportunity to have me on your team. I called 5 times and messaged Fernando and Alexis in recruiting about 7 times. There are plenty of opportunities out there and I just got a better opportunity now! Bye bye Swifty swift
Just like I say, in my videos, you should’ve contacted me so I could put you with the right people to expedite your application and also the process people did you name is nobody that I work with Nora by even know who they are so if you would’ve contacted me direct, I could’ve helped you through this process
I heard driver make $2000 to 3500 every week with swift owner operator is that true ?
You sure can if you run. I made 3500 last week.
Can I’ve your number bro got some questions
I’m interested to drive for them
The 3500 is your Net pay ?

You think 2,600 miles is running hard? You would be shocked at what we run on paper logs 😂 you’re not an owner operator. You’re a company driver making the truck payment so swift doesn’t have to.
What you describe sounds illegal. I'm also Swift, but company. I don't ever get those types of miles now with live loads and unloads. I was interested in Lease Operator at one time, but not anymore. You should never lease with a company that controls your miles. Just ask the Prime LO's. I've not heard good stories about their program. I don't know about Swift's program, but they haven't done anything to boost my confidence that it is the right thing to do. And you are correct: LO is just company, except you are making the truck payment for them, no health insurance/benefits, and ALL responsibility is now on you. The planning and dispatch are the same as company.
@@KILRtv not illegal according to what I put on paper.
@@WagnerAndSonsYou can make all of the money running like that and loose your health really quickly. Working too long in a truck is extremely unhealthy and pays the Doctors later on.
I stopped working my full clock after I started to feel the effects on my body. Things got better when I limited my work day to 12 hours max and walked 2 times a day. Id walk while getting loaded/unloading, at the end of my shift and in the middle of my shift.
One of the keys to being healthy is to be in a good financial situation to not have to drive that hard.
That's cool bro. Your the guy that does 2000 miles overnight right? You sound like you want a pat on the back or a congratulations lol noone cares what you run on paper log, billy badass.
You show your stupidity, he's saying fir those miles he wasn't making the money that he wanted.

I am curious at your age why your at swift and job hopping.
Name your truck “Blue Fear”
You need to email me at flyrabbit@mail.com. Your knickname is the winner! I’m not naming it that but yours would win the contest. If you email your phone number so I can get in touch with you I’ll send you a fifty dollar gift card if your choice. Please get back with me.
