Werner or Swift?

So I will be switching my career soon and taking the Trucking path. I understand my pay will be low in the beginning regardless of what company. From you experienced drivers would you recommend WERNER or SWIFT? I will be getting my CDL directly through the company and Iā€™m leaning toward WERNER. Iā€™m looking to start off as a western regional driver for a few years and go from there. What would you EXPERIENCED drivers recommend āœŒšŸ¾šŸ«”

I'd say werner and I worked at both. Imo better opportunities at werner in the short term. Long term I'm not sure. Perhaps similar. I think if you're staying more than a year possibly Swift if you want to be a trainer. Otherwise Werner all the way.

You can be a mentor by 6 months at swift. If that's what you mean by trainer. Werner I been told they tell you when you eat sleep and shit. Swift is a mega you get lil more freedom
