Ive been working through Swift for over 7 years the staff are friendly and have always tried to accommodate the hours that i can work ive only worked through Swift as other agencies the experiences that other drivers i know have had are that your only a number and give you work when they need you Swift on the other hand have always tried to share the work that is available with everyone and keep you in work as much as possible John and the team at Swift try there hardest to accommodate your needs and keep you in work long may this continue

Have had the pleasure to deal with John, Nickie and Nathan for many years. First as a Transport Manager and now a part time driver I've always had the same professional response. A great team.

Great Team, talk to drivers like they're a human being and not a number. If you're reliable, they will look after you.
