How long does it take

probably a backlog of calls to try and keep up with.

try a different recruiter......?? or just keep calling, after all, if its a toll free call, you ain't spending your money.

 

Try Swift again..........

352
208-2475 ext 8

Ask for Chris, this WAS his direct line, not sure anymore...........

 

If you haven't already done so, do the on-line application. The recruiters get hundreds of calls from people who just want a "little information" and then spend way to much time giving the "little information".

Once you've applied on-line, they know a little bit more about you and know that you're at least serious enough to have gone to the trouble to do the app.

 

IF I HAD IT ALL OVER AGAIN I WOULD TAKE A CORRESPONDENCE COURSE TO BE A ELECTRICIAN. THEN A TECH SCHOOL THEN A APPRENTENCE PROGRAM, THEN DEPENDING HOW YOUNG AND HEALTHY GO TO ALASKA FOR A JOB TRAINING. COUPLE YEARS COME BACK TO LESS AIR CONDITIONING AND HAVE A HECK OF A RESUME. wHILE ALL THIS IS GOING ON THE ECONOMY WILL GET BETTER AND BETTER AND FIND YOURSELF IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. I HAD TO PAY BACK CHILD SUPPORT SO I DID NOT HAVE TO TIME BACK THEN OR I WOULD HAVE TRIED THAT CAREER INSTEAD. BUT IF YOU REALLY NEED TO BE A TRUCKER THEN..........

Good Post !!!

 

The Trucker life is not glamourous and high adventure.It's hard work,long hours behind the wheel,away from home and family for long periods.Putting up with bad drivers,terrible weather conditions,stupid dispatchers,waiting for hours to get loaded or unloaded. Think real hard about it before doing it.Like they say keep calling swift and also check other companies that offer training.You gotta start somewhere and pay your dues like everyone else.Good LUCK!

 

WHOA TROOPER!! DONT DO IT!!!!

Before you do ANY of that, call your unemployment office. Virginia Employment Center will pay 100% of your tuition if you're registered with them. Different states, different unemployment rules. Worth a try at least.

Check into it first before you sign ANY contracts with ANY company.
