    I would go to a private school or community college, but I can't get a grant or whatever, so if I meet all the requirements, how long does it usually take to get enrolled at swift academy and head on my way?

    Once you apply, maybe couple days.

    I applied with a fresh CDL on a Thursday and was sitting in orientation the following Monday.
    Say what you will about Swift but if you need a job in a hurry that's their specialty, swoop you in before you can change your mind.

    God have mercy on your soul... tho, I'm sure Swift is probably the butt of his jokes too.

    If you have your CDL A permit (if your state issues a hard copy, you need to have a hard copy the DMV paper will not work) and the dot physical with interstate no exemptions..

    Example - in VA they mail you a hard copy of the license after 5-10 business days. Have to have that plastic license. My class, a guy didn't have it and got sent home.

    Call a recruiter and you'll be on your way to the class that starts next week.

    Feel free to check out my other thread if you're curious about my experience at the Richmond academy last month.

    They will never listen to the warnings......lmao


    Newbie, there aare many BETTER companies out there that will send you to truck school for free and pay for your housing while in school... Its not England and its not Swift. Oh and its nor Central Refrigerated either (A Swift Company)

    I would personally recommend KLLM for a student
