He's talked to Swift, but I'd like to hear some opinions from the board to help him start right.

Skip the training companies entirely. Your son will not be happy and then he will be on the hook to the companies to pay the tuition costs.
Go to community college and get his CDL through them. He will then be free to go anywhere he wants.
Let me say it again---Avoid the "training" companies. Your son will not be happy. Ignore me if you like, but if your son wants to be successful he will listen to this advice.Tonythetruckerdude, starsonwindow, driverdriver and 2 others Thank this. -
Ive had a great experience with swift so far.
ShamrockSalono and richieryan Thank this. -
I would steer clear of swift, cr england, crst ect. I would try Roehl, TMC or Maverick. I started at Roehl good compant to start with.
richieryan Thanks this. -
Swift will not hire your son unless he is 23 or was in the military sorry if they lied to him. It's gunna be a luck of the draw in my opinion if he gets a good dispatcher that likes him he will get miles and they will get him home when he wants to get home and even recommend him for dedicated and local accounts. I started with sni they treated me good but I didn't have enough experience to be local with them so I left
Marky84 Thanks this. -
ShamrockSalono Thanks this.

Bad about the age thing tho -
Marky84 Thanks this.

Don't know why your so against training companies. You won't be "free to go anywhere" with a cdl and no experience.
ShamrockSalono and Marky84 Thank this.
