I am coming to swift this summer, going flatbed. Are there any tips or things you’d recommend to a new driver in the industry? How is swifts flatbed training, is there money in flatbed, what do you haul etc.. there aren’t a lot of videos out there to swift flatbed. Great video and you’ve earned a new sub. Be careful out there

Swift is a great company in itself, I’ve been in it for exactly 1 year. Id say being open to suggestions or extra opinions would benefit anyone greatly. The flatbed training itself is very informative and straight put. If you are going out of the Greer, South Carolina terminal then the teacher there is really good. Not sure about other terminals. There is money in flatbed as long as you pick the right route. If you get on the ‘triangle’ then you’re looking at around $800 per week. I’ve heard of other routes offering more though. Also the longer you’re in, the more you make because of raises and bonuses. The type of freight we haul is limited, a few are frame rails(tarped), steel coils(tarped), pro master vans, chassis, wood(tarped), trailers, rebar. Thank you for subbing! I’m gonna be putting out another video soon!
