I've noticed over the last few yrs training and safety with companies have gotten worse.Companies are having a tougher time hiring drivers did to the the laws and insurance.So companies give drivers chance after chance unless it's something catastrophic.

I am farthest person on the board to be a "save Swift" groupie....I get irritated when people that use truck stop coffee counter gossip, or internet babble become something attributed to fact. Even if you are in your 40's...still not long enough to remember "how it used to be"....one year on a truck with a trainer"....union BS gossip...check your sources!
Like I said....my BS meter is pegging max load! -
Chatting about topics is about opinions . Don't know where you get the negative part . As far as blue blood hound it's gossip . Who's done it ? Good or bad ,? I'm always interested in information and new business models . Thank you for the note

They say that Swift is bad as far as training. I can remember back in the day with CRST. Train a student 6 weeks. Then after training they place a student with a another student that had 6 weeks and send them on their way. CRE, I have seen OTR trainers with 2 students in the truck. Someone please explain that do me. And yes, with Swift, you can have 6 months experience and become a trainer. Is it right, oh HE(( no. Otter, I agree with you as far as the, ummm, foreign. I get scared whenever I see a Volvo that is out of the Chicago burbs, and as far as parking in fuel islands, I have seen it all. One of the worst offenders that I have seen, FEDEX. I will be the first to admit that in my going on 6 years with Swift, I have seen some of the worst as far as trainers, and some of the best.
When that one student got off my truck after 100 hours, it was PHX that placed him with another trainer. His Driver Services leader in Columbus wanted him off my truck. My DM wanted him off my truck, but PHX, let him train more. As far as also gossip. I had to attend another class as far as training and while I was sitting there, 2 students made this comment, that they heard from a cousin that it was not best to get a O/O as a mentor because they only care about the miles, and right then the safety director gave me this look, so bite my tongue. Then she said something. Then after the class one student walked up to me and asked if I would be his mentor, and all that I could do, shake me head and walk away.Last edited: Apr 10, 2016

Patty, compare Swift with Schneider, and see who according to stats now is worse. Then think, how much attention does Swift get compared to them.
