As an experienced trucker, you’re in a great position to take advantage of the many career opportunities available only at a company like Swift.

Drivers
There is a great variety of trucking jobs that are available at a company as large and diverse as Swift. Dry van, reefers and heavy haul are among the options for company drivers. In addition to what you drive, there are choices as to how you drive. You can drive solo or as part of a team. In fact, Swift currently has over 750 driving teams on the road. Some of Swift’s most successful teams are husbands and wives who enjoy both companionship on the road and tremendous financial rewards.

Dedicated Drivers
If you’ve established yourself as a reliable, safe and courteous truck driver, other opportunities will be open to you. This includes the chance to be part of a “dedicated” fleet. Working on a dedicated fleet allows you to haul loads for the same company (well-respected companies such as Target, Home Depot and Wal-Mart) on consistent and predictable routes. It also means you’ll enjoy consistently more time at home. As you can imagine, such positions are reserved for the top drivers in the fleet.

Mentors
Truly exceptional drivers can move up to take on the role of mentor. A mentor is responsible for working with recent graduates from CDL schools and helping them become capable, confident truck drivers. Click here to learn more about being a mentor at Swift.

Flatbed Drivers
Swift has a growing fleet of over 500 flatbed tractors and over 1,400 trailers, in a variety of trailer configurations, dedicated to our Flatbed Division. This division is becoming an increasingly important part of our overall operations and demands a special kind of driver with skills beyond those of traditional dry van driving. These drivers are required to have the physical abilities to secure and tarp loads. They will also be given extra training in tying down loads.

Owner Operators
Owner operators enjoy the satisfaction of working as a small business owner combined with the freedom of the open road. They can also experience exceptional income potential—into the six figures. Swift offers the freight network, terminal network, miles and service to make your time as an owner operator as profitable and enjoyable as possible. Swift has excellent lease-purchase programs that can get you into the newest Kenworth tractor with a very reasonable investment. Swift offers its owner operators generous discounts on fuel, insurance, tires and service.

Corporate
As varied and rewarding as these career opportunities are, there is yet another world of professional growth that is available to you at Swift. With Swift’s strong promote-from-within culture, exceptional individuals can even have the opportunity to advance within the Swift corporate world. Swift even provides tuition reimbursement to enable you to train for a career in any number of disciplines, including accounting, finance, human resources, logistics and sales. Starting as a driver will give you unique and valued insight into the operations of the organization. In fact, many members of Swift’s senior management—including a past CEO—started their careers as drivers.
