Swift "CDL" training program

I believe that if you go to one of the swift driver academies, they deduct X amount of money out of your check for 13 months. Then for 13 months, they pay money back to you.
If you pay cash, they reimburse the tuition in full six months after you go solo.

 

A swift driver has a girlfriend?!


That's amazing.

OP, You anwsered your own question when you said indentured servitude.

I can't break down how it works with swift but nothing is free and recruiters lie.

 

Good lookin' out.

Wish I could be more help.


Tell her to go ride with a Grain Hauler. LOL

 

Not sure on specifics but i do know some of the megas will look over there driving history and allow them to be trainers with only 6 months or so behind the wheel. Its a shame.

 

Swift will send her to a CDL school when she gets her permit and train her for her CDL in three weeks. She will have to have funds for transfer of her permit to the state that the school is in and then transfer of it back to her home state after she gets her CDL. There are some other small costs also and sometimes students have to pay for lodging. No schools include food that I know of but I could be wrong. The normal cost is $3900.00. Swift will send her to school so she doesn't have to foot the bill. They require a 13month contract in order to do that. During the first 13months she will pay $37.50 week. If she stays another 13months on top of that Swift will pay her $37.50 per week for the last 13 months making the school free. That is a total of 26 months.

As far as her boyfriend being her mentor I'm not sure about that. I believe that to be a mentor at Swift you must have 6 months of experience, 100% on time delivery, and no preventable accidents during that time frame. So if he has been there since May and has an accident I don't believe that he can be a mentor, but I may be wrong.

Hope that helps.

 

Swift will occasionally waive their trainer requirements to allow a driver train someone like a family member or spouse.
If she wants her boyfriend to be her trainer, have it in writing. Not because swift won't honor it but because it's a huge company and it'll likely come down to a "he said, she said" matter that is hard to enforce.

 

Your sister and her Swiftie should change companies.
Other companies furnish meals during CDL school portion of training.
They should both look at Earl Henderson Trucking. She will get a private hotel room plus meals plus $100.00 cash weekly for extra food is she wants it. This cash is free; don't have to pay it back. He can be her trainer there. Trucks have APU, refrigerator, Satellite tv hookups, seats that heat and cool. New drivers start out at .38 cpm. No cameras either.

Swift can also hear their "sweet nothings" talk and cell phone conversations if they want to.

 

Well when you put it like that... Haha
