Does anyone know what it's going to be with the holiday schedule. On the email it says...well...."The total
students training time consists of 20 days Classroom and Range instruction.
The Swift Driving Academy operates year-round, excluding the following holidays:
New Years Day Labor Day
Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day
Independence Day Christmas Day
Extra training hours during the standard (20) day program will make up for these
days."
Not sure what date that means we'll be done...maybe the 30th? -
Hey there, mine took 23 days start to finish not including orientation which was a few more the next week. I took it in phoenix and enjoyed it. Good luck.

If you get a lazy mentor, fire him asap. A good way to tell if he is lazy, he will not do a pre trip. My mentor didn't do a single pre trip in the six weeks I was with him. -
toostroked, thanks for the info. I expect lots of hard work, and am going to treat it like my life depends on it (and well, financially, I suppose it does). I guess there are people out there who just cant drive a truck for whatever reason, I imagine they want you to succeed as long as you keep working hard, but has given me some anxiety. I mean, is it possible I'll just be a doofus who can't back a truck up or something? Hopefully not! Once I get through the school, I have lots of worries about the mentor, mainly b/c I know how hard it can be to live with someone you don't know for at least six weeks...plus worried that I'll make a mistake, but I guess worry never done anyone any good.
Tying up loose ends here, tomorrow is the last day for me to do weekday stuff before I leave. -

Longshot...so I assume you're gonna be there the 13th also?

so road training is at home domicile...hmmm

I'm still waiting on my Mentor. This is now the forth week I have had to wait. he called me Tuesday and said truck is in the shop and will let you know when I am coming to get you.
Well today he called and told me I need to call driver services to request a new mentor. This is getting old -
ouch...yeah, sitting around don't get you paid. sorry to hear about the trouble, good luck, maybe things will come together soon for you.
