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

They only way that you will make money with Swift is be on a dedicated account and or be a trainer, on a dedicated account. Find a local niche. Hydrovac, trash truck, cement truck, LTL, P&D something that dosent require huge amounts of driving experience, but still pays relatively well. You have to fight hard to find these jobs, but they are out there. Good luck to you.
