    Fellow Drivers,
    I will go to my orientation with swift next Tuesday in Atlanta GA, who would you guys recommend as a trainer, maybe if i am lucky enough and if the trainer is available i will be able to get him/her or is this too much to ask for? and maybe some DM names i might need to stay away from...... pretty much some form and shape of heads up would be greatly appreciated.... Some advice would be appreciated also..... Thank you in advanced. Keep Trucking - Keep it Safe Out There.....:biggrin_255:

    Lots of info on Swift on here just search for it, there are probably thousands of pages on em. As far as getting a certain trainer or dm thats not gonna happen. You will get the next available trainer that runs out of that terminal. Have fun at the atlanta terminal, that one is kind of run down, had to spend an afternoon there and it was less then joyful.

    As far as I know you cannot choose your mentor. A female may request a female mentor but will probably take longer to get on the road due to availability of female mentors. I know I could not live in that small amount of space with another female, lol, so I am hoping I do not get stuck with a female. Males are usually disappointed that they do not have the same option.

    All I ask for is someone who doesn't smoke, want to push their political beliefs on me, and doesn't wnat to play around with the waitresses.

    Trip planning and learning the system is what I want to do.

    They do ask you your smoking preferance as well, and if you're a female more than likely they will team you with another female.

    My understanding is that you will go out with who ever is available. If you have a particular preference, it will depend on what you are requesting.
