    From what I hear about Swift, sometimes I wonder if some of the drivers disguise their Swift trucks to look like Carolina Freight trucks?

    Yes I was... WHATTTT!!!!???? :D :D :D

    OP, yes I was a trainer while with Swift until leaving them this last May. What's your question(s)? Current Swift trainers might chime in as well.

    I have been off the road over 11 years. In a few weeks I will go to orientation in Gary, IN for 3 days. Then I will be with a trainer for 200 hours. Can you tell me what to expect? Also, Since I have not driven for so long, I am a little nervous about shifting a 10 speed again.
