Swift Training @ C1 Indianapolis

Here is something to remember in pre-trip that I have seen many people miss, including myself many years ago, and when I was done the inspector kept asking me if done and I said yes, then I knew that I missed something. The city horn. Something so simple

 

How ya doing Charlie, having fun out on the range?

 

But isn't it a natural movement to check the city horn while checking the air horn?
HONK, honk... or honk, HONK.
Don't the two go together?

 

They did the same thing to most of the people in my class.
I tested out for state Tuesday or Wednesday and sat around for the rest of the week.
If they think you're ready to take the test, you are. It might not feel like it but you've shown them that you can handle what you need to.

Anyway, congrats! Don't let the nerves get to you.

 

They Don't Really teach you much at that school except how to barely pass your driving test. The real learning is going to happen on the job

 

From what I read in your posts, Swift is pretty thorough with training on paper. I would assume the yard work is just as intensive. And they have a simulator? Then why the heck are so many of these guys wrecking? Is it sheer stupidity of the driver? It can't be lack of training from what I read. And with the volume of accidents they have, one would imagine that weeding that stupidity out would become an art form. At this point, a person would be lead to believe that they could almost smell the ones who would be possible future twisted trucker stars.

 

You'll be fine. Take a deep breath, calm your nerves, and drive that #####. Remember that slow is smooth and smooth is fast. By now the instructor will have taken you on any of the routes the tester will use, so you'll be familiar with the roads. Watch your signs. He'll probably ask at some point what that sign you just passed said.
