My Swift Adventure

Be careful with that one. A guy got sent home Monday because his drivers license was from one state and his permit from another.

And speaking of time, One guy took his online test in September. He did not know he had to have a certain percentage correct to pass, and he did not find out until he was sent home Monday for failing it.

Everyone double check everything. Don't just take your recruiters word for what you need, or need to do. Be overly prepared, even if you are told you don't need something, get it anyway. It is a long ride back home.

 

LOL. You are kidding.....Right???

 

Good luck! It is better you found that out now rather than after getting there.

 

I finally made it back home this morning!

Yesterday Swift transported me and 2 other guys (the other 4 drove home that same day) to the bus station at 0800. I asked the guy picking us up, who was also the same guy who was in the classroom the first day, if we needed confirmation numbers to get our bus tickets. He said just show ID, they already had the confirmation number. He dropped us off and left.

After standing in a very long line to get my ticket, I was told I needed a confirmation number because it was not in the computer. My class mate in front of me was told the same. However the third guy got his ticket and immediately got on a bus.

After finding a place to charge my phone, I called Swift terminal. The lady I talked to said I would have to call my recruiter to get a confirmation number. Well, Unfortunately, my recruiter would not be back at work until the 4th. She did not answer her cell phone or return my calls. The lady then said to call my processor. Wtf is a processor, I wondered, as I dialed the number I was given. Ever who it was that answered, said she was not my processor and transferred me to another processor. Once I finally found my processor and explained everything, she asked me to call her back in a few minutes which I did.

I finally got my confirmation number and went back to stand in another very long line to get my ticket. I was to soon learn that my bus would not go out until 1900 that evening. Luckily, I had brought a book to read. I finally got back to my home town at 0530 this morning. Now I need to work on getting my release form signed and faxed back.
