Growth Opportunities and Careers at Swift Transportation

As Swift Transportation driver Terri S. says, “Initially when I began to learn how to drive trucks, no other company would hire me because I didn’t have experience. Swift gave me that opportunity. Now I’ve become a Diamond driver and million-mile driver. Why leave? I feel like I’m at home. Can’t do anything but get better, and I look forward to it.”

As a driver, there are many specialized driving options you can go into. These include transporting hazardous materials, for example, or driving a refrigerated. Supplemental training programs can help you develop your truck driving skills and move into other areas in the trucking industry.

There are also owner-operator paths some drivers pursue, where you can own or lease a truck and haul Swift freight solo or with a team driver.

As you progress from being a new hire driver, you can pursue a variety of careers that are in the trucking industry. As a driver, some positions you can advance to at Swift Transportation with the right experience and training include:

Academy Instructor

Fleet manager

Dispatcher

There are also various corporate leadership positions to consider if you want to move into other types of work in the trucking industry. Your opportunities are endless with Swift Transportation.
