A career as a truck driver with Swift offers advantages that simply can’t be found in any other line of work. Trucking is unlike any other profession... Everything changes - there are few, if any, constants. This makes trucking a job that doesn't easily become boring. If you're stuck in a job that bores you to death, that makes you feel tied down, that you dread going to every single day, trucking could be a very liberating and exciting choice for you
Nothing compares to life out on the open road. There’s unmatched freedom when you get out from behind a desk or outside of a factory and get your career in gear. Your job is constantly in motion, opening up new vistas, taking you to new places and introducing you to new people every day.
Even more than the interesting things you’ll see on the road are what you won’t see—someone looking over your shoulder. Rather than a hovering boss, you’ll have a Driver Manager who is committed to giving you all of the support you need to make the most of your time on the road.
As varied and rewarding as life on the road may be, Swift understands that the real reasons you drive are all waiting for you back home. Our excellent compensation and benefits package afford you the opportunity to take great care of your family. More than that, we want you to be able to spend quality and quantity time with your family. That’s why we’re committed to having you home at least one day for every six on the road.
