Swift - Free Veterans Training - Is it BS/Scam??

Before you jump on the Swift bash wagon maybe you should call the company and get your information first hand instead of from the losers who couldn't cut it at something as dumb ### simple as Swift CDL school . The main number at the hq in Phoenix is 800-800-2200 .

I had to go through the entire training process with Swift because my experience was too many years stale for the insurance company's criteria . As a Vietnam combat veteran the best I got for my service was to be vilified as a baby killer and literally spit on while returning to the States in uniform . The first day at Swift Academy San Antonio we were asked for our DD214s. Two of us were vets and we were given a $1000 discount on the spot for no other reason than that we served . All those decades since I came home I got offered NOTHING for my service and I wanted less . Swift did this without any fanfare and it was never used as an inducement to attend their school . I understand they have other programs now .

 

I don't know about Swift, but Midwest-coast Transport and Raider Express both have terminals in Ft. Worth and both have their own CDL school.

Midwest runs lots of coast to coast; CA/FL
Raider shows their freight lanes on their website.

Read the first five words of this post . The translation is I don't have a clue but I looked up these other companies on the net . This is why I recommend you call Swift ; you will be getting plenty of replies from those who know as little about your post as , with all due and huge respect , Chinatown .

 

My point is, he may not have been aware there's opportunities that close to home in Ft. Worth.

Like a Swift Academy an hour away in Corsicana and a terminal even closer in Lancaster ? ?

Good point; better to have several options to choose from.

Wish I'd had all this information and TTR website available when I started; could have retired years sooner.

 

Let me send a message to a good friend of mine there in PHX who is a DM and his wife is a recruiter. I will get the real skinny for you. Last that I heard, Veterans get a full scholarship.
