    Hello everyone, I hope to attend Swift Transportation's driving school this summer. I want to do as much research as possible beforehand.
    Will I be trained on a manual transmission? And how many gears does does it have? Thank you.

    18 speed double overdrive with a 3 speed brown light don't worry you only have to shift one at a time!

    Try to request a manual transmission to be trained on. If you train on an automatic its going to be a restriction on your cdl and limit future job opportunities.

    Swift? Really?

    Research this site, try indeed website. Read reviews. Do a search on YouTube for Swift drivers.

    As completely unnecessary the two extra sticks are that's still impressive to me, I'd get lost remembering which one is which.

    All I can say is once you start pulling a Swift trailer, you will be a chick magnet. Hope you are not married.
