Why Rehire at Swift Transportation? What’s Changed Since You Were Here:

If you’ve driven for Swift before — or you’re thinking about coming back — now’s an excellent time to get behind the wheel again. We’ve been busy in 2025 upgrading equipment and technology, elevating our operations strategies, and renewing our commitment to an improved driver experience.

The best part is that we’re not even done yet! We’re gearing up for 2026, where company growth means more opportunities for career success. While the grass might look greener with other carriers, the benefits, competitive pay, and additional perks you’ll find at Swift are unmatched.

What’s New at Swift in 2025 and Beyond

Many drivers leave their trucking job chasing promises of higher pay or better routes, only to find that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Sometimes what looks like a step forward can mean losing the support, consistency, or respect that makes life on the road sustainable.

At Swift, we’ve taken that lesson to heart. Over the past few years, we’ve listened closely to feedback and used it to make lasting improvements across the company. Swift has evolved— from equipment, to pay, to culture— and those changes are creating new reasons for experienced drivers to return to Swift.

Freight Consistency and Reliable Home Time

We know that for professional drivers, stability is a cornerstone of a long-term career. Predictable miles mean predictable pay, and reliable routes make it possible to achieve a healthy work/life balance. Our planning team assigns drivers the miles they need to earn competitive pay and also works closely with them to make sure they get home when needed. Moreover, as Swift’s vast customer network continues to expand, more routes and freight opportunities are available for our drivers. As a result, drivers are experiencing steadier miles, stronger alignment with their leadership, and greater route options than before.

Another way to get more home time is by becoming a dedicated or intermodal driver. Our growing network of dedicated and intermodal accounts offers options that balance strong earning potential with more predictable home time. These routes tend to be regional or local, allowing drivers to get home biweekly, weekly, or even daily at times. This way drivers enjoy the best of both worlds: steady freight and miles without straying too far from home.

Matthew M. is a Swift driver of two years. While he started in 2017, he left for some time before he was rehired at Swift again in 2024.

“I wish I never left,” Matthew says. “And that I’d asked more questions about what opportunities are available. There are so many options for drivers to create the career they want here. I love that Swift stands behind me. I’ll be at Swift until I retire.”
