Going with SWIFT...

For me i'm heading to Harrisburg PA because my D.L is a PA CDL.I was told I had to attend to Harrisburg cuz of that,doesn't make any sense.

Its the terminal close to you,since your in Ocla Fl you might head to the Ocla terminal.

 

Hey, I've been driving solo for Swift for three months now. My first mistake was rushing training with my mentor. The Mentors will train you only if you ask them questions all the time, if not they'll just use you to make them high bucks while you make only $350. Swift is a good company, they have things they need to work on, but so does every company. Stick with them, its one of the biggest companies on the roads, if not the biggest.

 

Keep us posted,6-7 people already seen home,wow..Well if they seen me home I hope its the first day cuz I don't want to waste sitting 3 boarding days.Man I hope I pass the dam road test...

 

What's the details do they have you drive on the open road or you drive around town?Also which truck did you take your road test in??

 

i'm really glad to hear this, i got 7 weeks left outta 10 at fox valley tech to get my cdl, then i'm off to Swift.... may not be the highest paid company but the work/home ratio works great for me...

 

The next student my mentor had pulls dry bulk tank up there in Cheeseland. Home several nights a week, and weekends. Got to have experience first.

I made 2 runs to DePere from Walmart near Rome NY. My GPS always wanted to drag me through down town DePere antique district. The place was a Chep pallet recycling place on American drive?

Lots of freight out of your area. Kimberly Clark, Proctor and Gamble, Versa paper, and Sonoco. I went to Marinette, Niagra MI to get some good long runs. There is a place a few blocks from the pallet company where I picked up napkins.

My favorite restaurant out there is behind a mom and pop truckstop on Lineville Road. Barley's Deerfield. I had my GF with me and got warm fresh banana, and coconut creme pie with our breakfast. Just don't order the brat patties. Nasty!

 

I have driven for 5 different companies in my time and I have found
They are all pretty much the same. They all have good and things.

 

My recruiter sucks. He is about as enthousiastic as a vegetable. I wish I could talk to someone who actually likes his company
