Man I wish Swift would get rid of l/o's as mentors. What is it, about 95% of the bad mentors are l/o's that need the team driver to make the truck payment. Heck, my first mentor was an l/o too. I was so stressed after the first two weeks I was ready to quit. My wife convinced me to get a new mentor, and he was great. 5 years later I'm glad that first one did not cause me to quit.
Sad thing is, I was with Swift for a year, and he was still training (seen him and student in drivers lounge) a year later.DustMyBroom, NavigatorWife, Lepton1 and 2 others Thank this. -
I ultimately contacted the driver development coordinator, who asked me if I wanted a smoking or non smoking mentor. I smoke but promised to quit if t would get me off of this truck.DustMyBroom, NavigatorWife, Lepton1 and 2 others Thank this. -

Anyway we will see how quickly they get me off of this truck. Now apparently we are going to Arkansas. Maybe it will be snowing and I'll get some experience that way. All I know is if this dude says anything stupid to me, he's going to be taking a long nap in the reefer.NavigatorWife and Lepton1 Thank this. -

You're most of the way through the process of getting solo. Don't do anything rash and throw it all away.
Get in touch with whoever you have to at Swift during the day tomorrow to get off this truck, but until then suck it up.
Btw, can someone explain dedicated to me. In my mind that doesn't leave the option to be turning down all kinds of loads.AnotherObserver, NavigatorWife, TripleSix and 1 other person Thank this. -
You have to accept them or reject them with a reason behind it. He just sits until they take it off of us and he's flat out warned me against accepting one.NavigatorWife and tinytim Thank this.
