Swift is a private co. now!

[Marine68]

I went to Swift yesterday to talk to a recruiter. Swift is now a privately held company. They have changed there pay a little also. They pay .42cpm for runs of 25-149 miles and .36cpm for 150-199miles and .34 cpm for 200-249 and .32cpm for 250-299miles and .26cpm for everything over 300miles, for a new driver. They have pay scale increases now at 3mos,4mos,6mos,9mos and 1year. They also closed their driver school at Troutdale, Oregon. It is at their Lewiston, ID. terminal now. Unlike any other company, they will let my wife ride with me when I get assigned my own truck and will also give her FREE training if she wants to drive. If I pay for school upfront they will reimburse me in lump sum at six months of service. I talked to two drivers and the only down side they could give me was time away from home. But I am not obligated to be home because my wife would be with me. So overall I think they have changed a little for the better. Just thought I would let you all know what I found out.
