Women Truck Drivers at Swift

From special programs to time at home, and more, find out why, for women, trucking might just be the perfect career.

"With over 300 combined years of trucking experience in our instructor staff, we give students what they need to get their CDL and to get them hired with Swift."

 

Toni T.

Swift Driving Academy Supervisor

"I became a mentor because I constantly saw a lot of people getting discouraged. They didn't understand the system and other things. This frustrated me because I love doing this so much. I thought that if they were just prepared, they could enjoy it just as much as me and not be stressed out about all those simple things, that are teachable things when they are out on their own."

Lori S. memories over the years

"I’ve had a lot of different jobs, but trucking is my favorite. When my daughters went to college, I knew I also could go into the trucking industry to pay for their educations. I know this is not only a great career for myself, but for so many other women – that’s why I’ve been doing it for over 30 years!"

"For all my women out there considering driving, just do it despite being fearful of it. Once that fear shakes off, you’ll get comfortable with it. You’re going to want to do it even more and then you're gonna be asking other people to do it too! When you choose something that you're going to make a career out of, you want to choose something that you can stick with. You want to choose a family. And that's what Swift has always been to me."

Casual Driver and ECT Leader

"Swift has just been really supportive. When I first came on, it's almost like I was this scared individual afraid of everything, and then as the year and two months has progressed - with their help - I feel that I've blossomed out of that person, and I have become confident, strong, empowered, and Swift has been with me the whole entire way."

"I'm a head of the family and a sole single parent. My daughter is grown, but my granddaughter's four. I have both living back at home. Some like a lot of risk, some don't. Swift is an awesome company to stay with if you want a stable, long career to support your family."
