Got the word today...heading to Swift

Recruiter called me today and said she had an opening come up for orientation on the 13th instead of the 20th so I`m off in a week. Pretty glad too...been out of a truck for almost a month and a half and itching to get back out on the road. Doing orientation in Columbus, OH since I`m in Cleveland and should only be with a "mentor" for about 2 weeks since I already have a few month experience. Hopefully this will be better than my last company but from what I`ve read it should be...I`ll have a little more freedom on the road and atleast know where I`m going for a few stops ahead of time, unlike the "get to a stop-unload-send an empty message- then find out where I`m going next" routine. And the truck amenities sound alot better too. We`ll see how it pans out but I`m gonna atleast do a year just to get out of the "training" phase I`m still in. Anybody got some advice on the Columbus terminal and how it all goes would be greatly appreciated so to prepare me as best as possible.

 

Well atleast this orientation will only be 2 days...hopefully. Last company I was at it was a whole week....of nothing.....we barely even watched any movies lol, just kinda sat there and bs`ed with each other. Either way though I`m looking forward to it. I miss the open roads and it`s been a month and a half since I`ve been out there.
