Starting at Swift Academy in Fontana

A little about me. I'm a 31 year old stay at home mom to 4 kids. I have been a stay at home mom for the past 10 years. My husband and I have dreams of owning a farm one day and with limited education my options to bring in a considerable income are limited. My cousin is a trucker and I went out on the road with him for awhile and fell in love. So here I am. I start training at the fontana location this coming Tuesday. Anyone one through the training at this location? How did you like it? Any tips for a rookie just starting out? I'm not afraid of hard work (or man work as my husband calls it) and am a quick learner but am still a little nervous about it all.

 

My husband owns his own company and has a somewhat flexible schedule. My mother in law also lives with us so she can help but 4 kids is a lot for her so we'll be hiring a "mother's helper"/nanny. The kids are in school during the day.

 

Thanks for the advice. I have a clean driving record and hope to keep it that way. I don't plan on driving team past my training period and don't plan on leasing a truck. I plan on using swift as a place to get started. My cousin has his own truck so I do plan on teaming with him eventually.

 

I'll try to keep everyone updated on my progress.
