Benefits
At Swift, we provide for the needs of our drivers and their families in a number of ways:
Medical
Swift offers a PPO plan that permits you to obtain care and service from any provider you choose. However, if you select “in-network” providers, your out-of-pocket expenses will be greatly reduced. Our medical plan also includes some vision coverage.
Prescription Drug Coverage
Swift offers a “no deductible” Prescription Drug (Rx) Plan. There are several levels of coverage available. For generic drugs, the co-pay is only $10. For brand name drugs, the amount you pay varies by the plan you select and the cost of the drug. Minimum and maximum charges may apply.
Dental
Taking good care of your health includes taking good care of your teeth and gums. Swift offers you the opportunity to purchase a voluntary Dental Plan, administered by MetLife that provides coverage for dental office visits and procedures, including orthodontia for children age 19 and under.
401(k)
Swift continues to recognize the efforts you have made to its success and is proud to offer eligible employees a 401(k) plan. The purpose of this plan is to facilitate and assist you in planning for your retirement. Swift will match your contributions dollar-for-dollar, up to 3% of your pay.
Employee Assistance Program
Swift has contracted with ComPsych to provide employees and their families with confidential, compassionate and responsive counseling and referral services (at no cost to you) to offer immediate help in resolving issues, such as marital and family conflict, alcohol and drug abuse, depression, eating disorders, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and physical abuse.
