    I would like to know. According to their website, you go right from the training center, to your 'home' terminal for orientation. Have you been thru training already??

    Rick, what kind of things did you get tired of? Funny, but there is this guy on YouTube, who was breaking down all the time. Truck wouldn't start, and they 'fixed' it. He was going to pick up a load, and his truck died again, they put in a new battery, and in a day or two, it was dead again. So he was on his way to the Volvo shop, and it broke down again on the way to the shop.

    Now i know every company will have their problems, and some trucks just have this gremlin in them, and they never seem to get 'fixed' without another problem showing up. Just hope when I get into my own truck, it is problem free.

    tired of no miles always asking just never getting i was never late for pickup or delivery. there was this one time i had to be at a court hearing re: my son in indiana i told my dm two months ahead of time then told him again i month and then two weeks before court date. well i had a problem with trk at there term in crap forgot the term its over in pa i think anyway. the shop said it had a water pump leak and it would take days to fix i told dm the problem he said wait it out remember the court date well they were not concerned about getting me home another driver who had been there about 5 yrs even called someone in az still no help he.. they kept trying to send me lds every where else even though i had a problem with trk. then they sent me a ld to il threw indiana i told them could nt make delivery due to court dm said try it anyway well i for one was not going to take a ld with a water pump problem and take risk of brking down dm said look at it this way if you brk dn at least your be on your way to indiana i could not miss the court date so i left trk and keys with term manager and rented a car and left. now there are some drivers who like swift but they are always hiring people to fill seats its a decent place to get a start but i would just use them to get what you need and thats time in a seat. the pay is low way low. but thats what the training schools due.
