WHAT IF MY DRIVER WANTS TO DO THE APPLICATION THEMSELVES?

“I have to tell you that the fastest, easiest and best way to get you this job is for me to go ahead and get all the information myself right now so that we can get a complete application packet submitted immediately. This is a competitive position and there are other drivers actively applying, so the sooner we can get it done the better”.

“If you insist on doing the application yourself then I can send you my intelliapp link and I’ll need you to fill that out as completely as you can. The more info you provide up front the faster we can get your application process moving along. 

“We’ll definitely need all the info for all your CDL driving jobs including the names and phone numbers of companies, miles and areas driven, types of trucks and trailers, and trailer length for each job.

“Swift’s application process is a little different than other carriers. Once I receive your completed intelliapp I will submit the info they require from me but I will be sending you a link to finish their application.”

“Once the rep over at Swift gets the info I sent them they will contact you by email to get the finished application. After they receive the finished application form you they will continue with the process”
