When you started new with swift, do you remember how much you made a week? I’m in the middle of training, and still don’t know how much I could be making as a regonal driver lol
Hey are you still with swift man? I had a bunch of questions. It looks like you take time off whenever you want so do you make your own schedule? Is pay still good first year? How are the benefits? What are the hours like in terms of work weeks? Are schedules more set then bouncing around? I’m looking into getting in with the Troutdale, Portland OR terminal because USPS is not looking like the move for me right now since the economy not good and I need to make the most amount of money without having to go OTR.
Bro I met you at one of DC’s you helped me with my tandem that was stuck. I called your boss but they said couldn’t be from Vegas all local. That’s crazy bro met u now u on to TH-cam. Left swift got all my endorsements and went to tanker company.
Thing is when your paycheck is just barely $1,000 every two weeks that pay starts looking real nice especially if you're saying that you get home everyday
I’m actually leaving Schneider now and going to swift intermodal in Northern California, so swift is better then Schneider? I know Schneider don’t pay that much
@@TruckingwithTorres ok fs...by any chance do you have any knowledge of how swift training works?? If i wanted to get into local driver, would swift still send me over the road for training??
@@josemanuelorozco1806 Yeah if you have no experience they will forsure start you off otr. You can do probably 3months otr and them talk to your driver leader to try and get you into a local account.
Swift was requiring at least 6 months of experience prior to joining. I would suggest getting at least 6 months otr experience because local truck driving you can get sent to the worst customers that aren’t meant for 53 foot trailers
Nice! I just got on with Montebello intermodal with swift i start tomorrow. I got the Tuesday-Saturday shift 4pm-4am. Do you know what other hours they offer since you been in it longer?
You can choose literally any start time you want it just has to be available. We have tues-sat and sun-thursday. Mon-fri are for people 10years plus. I have Tuesdays-sat 2am-2pm I love it
I think the 4pm-4am would be best since traffic starts dying out around 6ish after that it’s smooth sailing lol what hours do you recommend avoiding I like the Tuesday-Saturday tho but I was thinking doing a 4am-4pm if that’s available
lol dam I took the only one they offered to get my foot in the door 4pm-4am…and the crazy thing is they called me and offered me a position in intermodal
Put in at least 3-6 months of otr then ask your driver leader about transferring over to either Local Intermodal or if they have local positions opened in Jurupa Valley
@@TruckingwithTorres do I have to do the whole exams and everything because I still have my exam from my last visit in a couple months I have to retake it
@@lisettcrespo281 They’re going to send you to get your medical renewed and drug test thats about it and make sure you do all the videos at home that way you’re not stuck in orientation all day
@@TruckingwithTorres I was trying to do the videos, but it’s not letting me do the videos. It doesn’t give me like a button to to do the videos am I gonna have to say a hotel cause they say I have to set a hotel but I live in the area not in the area, but I live like close by .
I worked with Swift Intermodal in Vegas. I liked it, but unfortunately they had to close shop due to losing customers and the slow market. Back to OTR for a bit just keep my mileage going 🚛💨
I was supposed to get on the Intermodal account in San Bernardino but a driver retired on the Target account in Rialto and the recruiter asked me if I was interested so I took it since I live in Rialto close to the Target DC. So far so good with swift.
I’ve been with swift for 4 years already and before that it was 1 year with Schneider. I would suggest going to an outside school if you can because any mega carrier cdl program make you sign a 1 year contract and they make you go over the road. If you decided to leave before the year they make you pay I believe anywhere from 7000-10000 for the school. If you get your CDL elsewhere swift offers tuition reimbursement
Wow, this definitely isn’t New York pay. It doesn’t even pay my rent. And I just sent notification to them about possibly working for them in the future.
I just got my cdl thinking about swift but I believe it’s only otr for new drivers the question is if I get the 6 months exp or a year, can you switch to intermodal? of course if there is an opening right.
@henrygarcia4279 we run a dedicated route out of fresno wife graduated back in October and I transferred from prime with 1 year experience. You just have to look it's not all OTR for new guys.

It all depends on the time you start. I start at 1 am thats why im able to do that many loads throughout the day. & we dont get OT after 40 since we’re on a pay package.

@@Spacecaptain10 remember recruiters say anything just to get you to sign up. In my opinion I have always been against cpm because you really dont know if you’ll get the miles.
