Help, Swift Driver training, any help also, refrigerators, what to expect

Quit spoilin' that rascal! He needs a sleeping bag and pillow while he's riding with a trainer/mentor. He can switch to those 1000 count Egyptian sheets after he's a solo driver.

 

I'm bald too, they keep going until they find hair. If his entire body is completely clean shaven they will take blood.

 

Lawsuits.

 

Hey beachin. Your husband should be fine. There are quite a few threads talking about mentor time here...

The main thing will be finding a mentor he can work with, but not allowing the few who use him as a team driver instead of training him, to run over him.

If his mentor sucks, he should not be afraid to ask for a mentor. Some people's personalities clash and some people are "insert expletive here".
He will have his DDC'S number for a reason, that is his contact during mentor time and he should keep him/her updated. They can't help him if they don't know anything is wrong.

Some people like me only had one mentor, and they got along famously. Mine ran hard, but taught me as much as he could along the way. He's been with swift 8 years. But some people like kry0n get one that is just using them as a paycheck, and swift needs to be made aware of that, because after a few students getting off their truck swift starts to look really hard at that mentor and whether they need to remain one.

 

As far as getting him stuff, wait until he upgrades to solo, there is nothing a mentor hates worse than a student with 3 bags of clothes, a cooler, five pairs of shoes, his own sheets, etc etc.... there will be two people living in close quarters and space is usually at a premium.

Most people recommend one duffel bag, a backpack and a shower bag. I used my backpack as my shower bag, but that's up to him. One pair of boots and a pair of flip flops or shower shoes for showers in terminals... *shudder* and his own towel. Truck stops provide clean towels but terminals do not. He will want one.

The one thing I do recommend you get him, is any medicine he may need (aspirin, pepto, etc.) As they rape for it out here on the road and there isn't always somewhere nearby that has it. Also, get him a zip lock bag and fill it with those laundry detergent "pods". They will save him money and keep his clothes smelling like you wash them at home. Laundry detergent on the road is way overpriced and some places you can only get powder.
