My Personal Experience

Thanks yeah they did not include that part. I get my code in morning.

 

Swift at this point is just experience until I get my 2 years in an get loan paid off. Lord it cost to get through school but hhere I am. I'm working hard and pushing forward.

 

Heading out with mentor. Atlanta to Texas.

 

Well here goes. We went to get loaded in atlanta yesterday evening and it took almost 6hours. My trainer decided to stay at terminal the night and head out at 8 this morning. So we hit the road me driving. I did not know what to expect. I was nervous. I run bout 6hours took my break and ran for 4 more. Got aa little over 600 miles and still had an hour on my 11. We stopped for the night but we are within 175 miles of des. Trainer happy cause he getting paid my miles while I'm on hourly. That's all good I'm getting good training. I think I'm going to enjoy this job. PS I'm driving an 8 speed and love it even better than the 10 speed I trained on at school. Its like a four in the floor twice. Lol

Got a load there going to Illinois. I got bout 600 miles today my mentor says I'm doing good but Texas (other than Dallas) is not to bad to drive in. Sherport Louisiana has very bad road bout beat me to death.
