Just finished my 240, doing my release to Solo tomorrow. So I got told by a driver they won't release student drivers to solo? My mentor was way cool told me not to believe the hype.
Anyone know what I should expect next. I'm in Atlanta told there was plenty of trucks available here when we were in Memphis... -
Congrats on finishing your training.I have heard by many they've had to wait for trks.They got sent home and waited 2 weeks or longer.Hopefully you get a trk tomorrow.
-
Yeah I heard that too, but Only from truck poor terminals... We asked beforehand if Atlanta had trucks and fleet manager in Memphis said yes... I know Lathrop there's a wait and Florida has no trucks at all.

I saw a bunch in gary today

My mentor is great. He is a Diamond level driver that has been with Swift for 16 yrs.
This is day 8 and I am on track to finish in 31. I have 61.75 logged hours.
The pay needs to be addressed, while it starts low it increases faster than others I have seen.
Coded means you recieved your drivers code, thus you are at that point HIRED!scottied67 Thanks this. -

i am supposed to start my training today...i did orientation last week and i was coded and assigned a mentor...i have been up since 5 A.M. waiting on a phone call...it is now 2 P.M. and i still havent heard anything

I'm just getting started on my "journey"...
Spoke to a recruiter (Riley) today, and got my application in. I've been doing a mad amount of research.
I spoke to a recruiter from CRE when I first started looking into schools and was accepted right away for a class beginning 4-30.
After reading the posts on this and other forums and doing a little digging online, I decided it was best for me to keep looking and see what other companies I could make contact with. Got a call tonight from the recruiter at CRE and let her know I wouldn't be attending the class, but I appreciated the call. She didn't seem amused, as if I had offended her by looking elsewhere.
I am really hoping that Swift calls me back. If not I suppose I will have to go with Roadmaster in Dunn, NC or CFCC's Driver Training course. I've heard good things about both, but I really can't afford to put out the upfront $$ for either one.
I want this so bad, one way or another, I will be out there on the road with all you guys and gals sooner or later.
Keep up the great posts and keep your wheels rolling.scottied67 Thanks this. -
