Profile For Mark G.

Thank you all for the replies. I misspoke when I said they don’t have any miles. What I meant to say is they aren’t giving me any miles. I’ve talked to my DM (dispatch) about it twice and I’ve gotten less since then. I know I am a rookie and I have yet to prove myself, but how can anyone support a family on 38 cpm with less then 2000 miles a week?

All the frustration aside, I starting networking with other Swift drivers to start painting a clearer picture of this situation and put things in perspective. I found a dedicated account that starts at 52 cpm.

I will still heed everyone’s advise and tone down the frustration while I try to make the best out of it. I will read all the articles suggestions as well. Once again, I appreciate everyone’s feedback and constructive criticism.

So, I joined Swift Transportation about 3 months ago and I feel like that was a mistake. Not gonna bash any company but they just don’t have enough miles and they don’t pay enough. I’m looking for other opportunities and any suggestions on companies that will take me would be appreciated.

I know there are tons of other companies that will hire me with no experience but I am not looking to go through another training phase because I simply can not afford it. I have a family to take care of and we are struggling on what I make now. If I go back to training pay we could potentially be homeless.
