Not sure how Swift does it because I went to Prime. Based on my experience at Prime, room and 3 meals per day paid by company while in orientation. After orientation i had to pay for my meals. They advanced me 200.00 per week onto my student driver id badge which is also a Comdata card. Advances stopped upon completing CDL testing and getting hired. I am safe to assume Swift does something similar to this. These are questions you should ask your recruiter.

That will get you through 3 weeks of training. As I said if you are in Corsicana, the continental breakfast at La Quinta ain't no punk. It's not toast and coffee. They have sausage and biscuits, waffles, eggs, toast, cereal and milk, oj, coffee... Quite a #### selection. I don't know about the other schools and what they have. On top of that, the hotel is actually quite nice.
Maybe this guy above couldn't survive on a couple hundred dollars for 6 weeks, but I definitely just refuted that. Not to mention, and I don't recommend it, but you can also take 2x50 dollar advances after I believe the first week otr with your mentor.
Don't take them if you can help it. Keep in mind if you do, your already meager check will be 100 short.
And as for your baby mama, if she is even REMOTELY intelligent, she will realize that you're about to be making more money and that she should cut you some slack. After you embark on your solo mission you should be able to easily get 2200-2500 miles each week. It's not a giant windfall, but it's a start.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do this. If you want to provide for your family, and if you want to get moving and get the experience to make a career of this, ignore this nonsense about needing much more than a few hundred to survive. If you can't survive on a few hundred dollars and live on ramen for a little while, you're going to have a very difficult time anyway... They probably aren't going to be assigning you a truck with a microwave and fridge when you go solo... So this will be what you will probably be eating anyway when your ex gets ahold of that check.Velli Thanks this. -

Kidding, but don't let it get you down. They told me the same thing and they were my first choice. Swift has cleared me to come to school and another company may end up being better anyway, also looks like they may be willing to take me on. Ignore the rejections and keep sending in apps. You will end up somewhere and it will pan outzKriegHund, Velli and TROOPER to TRUCKER Thank this. -
