If those are your two choices and that's what you don't like about PAM then go with Swift. We have many very happy swift drivers on this site. Also, have you looked here, Paid CDL Training Programs? If you don't have your permit yet start here, High Road Training Program. Also, this is a good read. Becoming A Truck Driver: The Raw Truth About Truck Driving
Hope all that helps.

I'm stuck between 2 company's swift and PAM I have googled both there is a ton of negative things about them I know not to believe everything you read anyone here have a personal experience with either company if so give me your feed back only thing about Pam I don't like is the 6 months with a trainer my wife has to only giving me a year to get my class A or wait till end of the year give a school 3200$
Four plus years with Swift on a Dedicated Walmart Account. Trained with Swift, stayed with Swift, by choice.
I have really good relationships with my DMs (requires work and effort), I never sit for too long, and I make decent money.
We constantly reinforce the concept that good drivers can be successful with most any company. Don't believe all the negative press, consider the source of that information; former disgruntled drivers blaming the company for their failure. It's nonsense.
Swift is a hugely successful enterprise employing thousands of drivers, has a huge customer base and tons of freight in their system. They didn't grow to that size by being a below average company.
The thing you have to remember about any review site is that people generally do not go to a site to give positive reviews, but tons of people will come to post their negative experienced.
Think of it like this, for every negative review you see, there are probably 10 positive opinions you dont see.
Take a closer look at both companies. Remember, the training phase is temporary, so check the "permanent" situation of driving for each.
Looks like PAM may lose out here, if no PAM drivers speak up. :-)
I drive for Swift. I started school in early December, and by February I was solo. Been at it for two years and I don't see any need to change companies.
