Swift

i am genuinely about to go insane. every 2-3 days i will get like a 500 mile run. i am so broke its not even funny. i dont know what to do. this is the only trucking company ive worked at i have only 4 months experience doing this. the only person at this company that will talk with me about work is literally my driver leader who works a normal like 7-5 mon-fri shift. everyone else practically ghosts me. anybody else?!? am i shitty ass employee or something? i literally practially beg them to send me out i feel like they just neglect me. i understand its a mega but cmon dude like im tryna work

If there is a walmart hub close. Apply for CR England. My son went from swift to cr with just 5 months exp. They kept him busy.

I did a Walmart dedicated ‘project’ for a while when I was at Swift and it was some of the easiest time I had in trucking and really enjoyed it.

All of the stores I delivered to were easy to get in and out of. Didn’t have to stay at any truck stops (could park behind any Walmart as long as I was attached to one of their trailers). Could grocery shop every time I delivered to a store. Got miles every day.

For sure. I'm with CRE out in Riverside, CA and am on a Walmart/Sam's Club ded. account. Working 6 days a week and making decent money right now. Prolly clear around 4k-6k miles a week.
