    howdy all,
    just starting school monday at sw trucking school in phoenix. IM 45 and got 5 weeks to figure out what i'm doing. Since i live in phoenix i stoppped by swifts corp office for information on their program. what i learned is there "FREE" school cost u $37 a week for 13 months, then they will reimberse u the same amount the second year. on top of that u spend 6 weeks otr with the trainer(who is sleeping while ur driving) as a team. then only pay u .25mile. seems to me there looking for someone to bend over.

    I've been on this site for about 2 weeks tring to get as much information as possible. Is this a "normal" company or are they just as bad as they seem?
