    I've been hearing different reports that it isn't required any more.

    Well, isn't that the way it is? A guy writes every day while in training but just get his own truck and POOF. He's gone, never to be heard from again.

    Same thing happened with OpenRoadGuy. He disappeared off the map.

    It may have to do with the frustrations all new drivers face.

    I had been unemployed since last July and went through the hiring process about 2 months ago. No letter was required, though I did see mention of it in some paperwork.
     
    Injun Thanks this.

    yeah i see it on there web page as a requirement but it does not go into detail as far as whats needed and all. its not a big deal i just dont want to leave for training not having everything squared away. Which location did you go through? Does anyone know what the starting pay is for a new driver? Do they start you in dry van or refer?

    Well everyone knows that the dry van drivers are the elite of Swift's drivers and lots of them drive Volvos, so you can expect to start by pulling flatbed driving a W-9 Kenworth with an 18 gear transmission.





























    Sorry I couldn't resist
     
    DenaliDad and Injun Thank this.

    Best thing to do would be call them and verify you will have all the required paperwork for your new venture.
