    Swift is offering .44 cpm and sent me an offer letter with a start date of next Monday. I took a job with a flatbed company first and physically I wasn't able to do it from the aftermath of an old injury.

    The recruiter with Swift mentioned that gross my checks would be around $1100 - $1200 a week. Does that sound right? Last week I applied for 10+ companies and Swift has been the first to respond and move forward. National Carriers gave me an offer but I wouldn't start until the end of January. I could hold out for something "better" but I have bills pilling up.

    At 44 cpm making $1000. Per week seems not likely

    Tread lightly with that place. There are quit a few past comments on here about applicants being dropped mid stream through a long drawn out "hiring" process. Knight has about ruined that place from what it was.

    $1,100 is 2500 miles as straight milage pay. If you have accessory pay on top of that, you could be in that range, so I think it's plausible. I started at .44cpm at Schneider and I was grossing about that amount.

    Swift is a good choice. Can get started sooner also. Swift used to get lots of bad press from drivers, but seems that's not the case today. I'm still gung-ho refrigerated trucking though.

    Saw a Swift Refrigerated rig that looked exactly like this photo, clean and sharp looking.
    It was on I-15 running through Las Vegas.

    What is accessory pay? I hope they aren't including the tuition reimbursement with that estimate.
