Don't Train With SWIFT!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that theewukid u had crap lucky with a trainer. For sure its your fault you were in control of the truck & trailer unit. Just have to turn this negative to a positive. The positive is a learning lesson, Time to time we all learn from this. Every company has dead beats. Just have to filter them out. A really good trainer is a person that takes pride in their job. Also a person that can show you the ropes how to do things properly and safe. Good Luck with truck'in

 

if u do go with tham just dont get hurt on job thay will fire..than try turn it around saying u did no call no show for 3 days..even if thay say thay will work with u to go to doc..very bad place..

 

Hate to say it but I agree.

 

I was in a similiar situation tc with swift we were at a truck stop got hit sometime during the night he had me go to the fuel island notice it there called it in. Though we were less than a football field away from are parking spot it was considered leaving the scene he was stand up about it took the talked swift out of a preventable. Never again would i take anyones word on anything.

 

You know this from personal experience or just guessing?

 

Who is "we" and who is "he"???

 

Me and my mentor.

 

Ok!! Didn't quite understand

 

Just got email from swift recruiter 33cpm and 24-3200 miles per week out 12hom 2-4 any way I can get it in writing so it will stand up and not be what I told u

 

I agree with pattyj. ALSO, this isn't necessarily the Swift Training program, this portion is your team driving initiation portion. You are (at least I was) encouraged to request another driver-trainer, for any reason. I've heard many bad stories about driver-trainers, especially with "starter companies" like swift, schneider, england, etc. I was lucky with mine, he was good, experienced, and patient, and didn't challenge me beyond what I was comfortable doing until I felt good about it. And even though I didn't like driving that year for Swift, (as they will blame every little thing on the driver) the terminal training portion of it I felt was great program. Finish your 13 months, and get outta there, and onto better pay and better companies.
