    I went to Swift school in Salt Lake City, Utah. The school was great! & a great experience for me. I learned a lot & the training was great. I left there because I had just had another son so OTR was out of the question for me, I wanted to be regional. Once I got my CDL i left Swift & got hired pulling Tankers with Schneider. Schneider didn't care about the contract that Swift had on me. I've been here pulling Tankers for 8 months & wouldn't change a thing!

    Swift cdl school is mediocre at best and is a great way to lose 4k if you're not a really fast learner. I posted about my experience there in the very first thing I've ever written on this site. Feel free to look it up.

    To be fair to them, I did get my cdl and they didn't lock me into a contract so I was able to immediately leave and never set foot in a non school swift truck. So that's great.

    Edit: my school was in VA. It was not as great as Thull's. But that does remind me that I wanna talk to him about schneider tank side. Something about the shiny round non orange thing is drawing my attention.
     
    Thull Thanks this.

    I believe Crst is strictly teams.
