New soon to be swift trainee!

Thanks for reading!! Good luck with whoever you decide to go with!! I gave up my car because I hardy would see it. I saw it as a waste of money. I was paying over 600 a month just for the note and insurance plus I had other bills. These days I only have my phone bill so I can save and do what I enjoy with what im making each week. Its going pretty good!

 

Congrats, hope it continues to go well for you!! I remember I was nervous going into busy truckstops. I just take it slow and if its early enough find a spot that I wont have to worry about getting blocked/ facing another truck. With a trainer have to learn how to get in and out but when youre solo I would look for the ideal spots if able to park early enough.

Dedicated is really nice. Traveling the same roads can be great. Ive seen enough of unknown places for right now. In a truck anyway. I plan on getting a car and going some nice places when I get vacation time! Everything is really great I cant complain about anything.

 

I am proud to say that tomorrow I make 1 year with Swift!

 

Thanks!! I appreciate it!!

 

It felt good changing (trucker?) from 0-1 year to 1 year! I am extremely thankful for the opportunity. I had my bad days but nothing that was worth giving up over. Had my scary days but I slowed down thought it over and got out of the situation (s) that I placed myself in. I'm still driving dedicated and it has been a great move for me. I dont regret starting at swift and I'm glad that I went ahead with them from the start.

Ive heard the stories, people who have worked for them weeks, months, or years ago, even from those who still work for them but from my experience, they've made it what it is for them. I have a great terminal. A great DL and a great contact on dedicated account. It hasn't always been good but it hasn't been something to cry, moan, and complain endlessly over and run away.

Work with some great people, I can't wait to make more years! Thanks to everyone who has given me advice and tips along the way. It's helped through everything.cant say thank you enough. Have a good one guys!!

 

Everyone who has said once you get a year in youll start making more has been absolutely correct. One week after I made a year experience I made more than I made one week before that point. Honestly it felt like something took over and the "drive" was there for me. Being on home depot account did help being salary and also getting in and out of some sticky situations I placed myself in. But my first week back otr was unbelievable. It surprised me. Ive made money before sure and I was happy with what I made week in and week out but im happier with what I made that first week otr. Hope that that continues. Im pleased. Cant say it enough. Hoping everyone is having the same experience. Later
