thanks tn i look forward to the roads its in my family lineage so hope it goes great

im waiting for a start date kinda feels edgy hope it all works out

a little bit of advise... don't be discouraged... by my experience ( in millington school ) the 2 weeks i spent there was intense... don't take criticisms personal... but you'll learn more on your field training and with your mentor than the little basic they teach you at school...

Hello Im back!

I started on september 2 2009 the physical was not anything the workwell doesn't exist anymore unless at the terminal during orientation. I passed with a one year physical. I also spent time in the class room and it was cool saw many people sent home the second and third day and then they cut my class into two groups if you passed your test for permit and all them you went first i passed with all 90's or more, b, but it is cool i have a week before i get in a truck i was on the second half but it is all going fine probably going to orientation in laredo as it is closer to my house anyway ill let you know how it keeps going

ps if you have done drugs anytime in the last month and a half consider not coming till two months is up it took out a lot off people and you won't be able to work for swift ever again.
