9 month experience as an OTR driver for SWIFT and trying to move on.

Errol came to you all for advise, in spite of a little frustration Not trying to damage our company I m a responsible/sensible man, I just don't like the cams and never will.

You all gave me some great ideas about what the problem could be . I will be looking to talk to old mentor and driver leader to help my find what i'm doing wrong. it never occurred to me that perhaps the error may be on my part, when I find what my problem is I will fallow up in the thread ,with a proper report. I should have something with in the next 2-3 days

Thank you all for the advise!

especially: Old School- tractor man-

I was afraid to make a mistake by leaving good company that i'm familiar with.

Disclosure: I've driven for Swift for two years now.

Limartm, you're getting decent miles. But you have "some issue" with paychecks. I'm my two years, I've checked every paycheck against what I drove in the last week (Fridays to Thursdays) and there's never been a problem. In fact, Swift paid a few things I wasn't expecting!

So can you elaborate?

As for driver cameras, there's been enough discussion here already, I don't want to repeat that. But if you're worried about privacy when you're off, no company is interested in watching. And if you're nervous about cams while you're driving, what are you doing that's against company policy?

I'm my opinion, here's your best option for a better company: Swift Transportation. Swift is a giant sized trucking company with potentially all the miles you'll want to drive, and with plenty of options for different driving divisions.

9 month experience as an OTR driver for SWIFT and trying to move on.

I have been working for Swift for 9 months, running consistently between 1900-2500 miles weekly. There seems to be some issue with my paycheck every week, amongst other issues such as cameras and other things I have been waiting to have the experience to leave behind. Don't get me wrong swift is not a bad companie; I just feel it would be better for me and my family to find a different company. I am a father of four with aspirations to buy a home and provide a better future for them.

That being said, what are my options at this point as far as better companies for the driver?

Any advise is appreciated!
