    I was told that there are mandatory videos that must be watched by new employees within a month of employment or else they will be put on "safety hold".

    What I wasn't told is which videos, none of them are marked as important, none of them are marked as past due, so I was wondering if anyone else knows which specific videos must be watched?

    Call safety or call your DL ... you're going to have a tough time if every time you have a question you run to the internet.

    Any questions you can direct to your DL ... ultimately learn the different departments and go to them directly ... Pay issue, call payroll ... permits, call permits ... Issues with a load, call the CSR/Mac 22 ... safety issues, call compliance ... need a load, call the planner ... detention pay, call detention ... maintenance, call on road ... fuel, call the fuel department.

    And Moose sez, for a company driver ... Mac 9,34 and 22 are your friend.

    And ultimately, you have probably a half a dozen videos in your pending que on Swift University ... just do them all. They don't take long and you may actually find something useful.

    There is a list of required training in the book they give you at orientation. It is also on the kiosk and if you go to swiftdrivers.com and sign in to you portal it is there.
