Swift transportation

Where are you getting that 6 months of experience from? School?

 

On Thursday a Swift recruiter told me I’d need to go with a trainer for three months. I have had a CDL A for 4 years. I drove class A for 6 months and then moved to a local class B job. Then the recruiter told me I’d have to drive 48 refrigerated for six more months before I could move to the Dedicated route out of Boise.
Of course the recruiter refused to put anything in writing before I signed on. So sketchy.

 

That seems like a lot.

 

No matter where you get your cdl you always have to go with a trainer after that. You’re not ready to drive from just passing the cdl test. Unless you have a family member or close friend that owns a trucking company you can expect to spend 4-6 six weeks living in someone else’s truck. Just how it is.

 

Three and a half years of class B has screwed me. People straight out of cdl school get more respect.

 

Which is weird, because it is still driving experience.

 

You can try for their submarine division

 

At Schneider you only go out for a week

 

You can train together in the same truck at the same time. Trucks are setup up for 3 people; the trainer and you and the wife.
Get all the endorsements, this is important.
Hazmat endorsement is important; might get a load of paint, etc.
