Swift Trans

You are correct. The job I want is a local job in Southern California where I live or to do government contracted driving. Luckily for me I am a veteran and talked to a company. I have a guaranteed job doing government contracted driving after driving for 12 months on the road if I want it. Not sure if I want to do that yet and the local job wants me to do 6 months on the road first. Either way I am a newly licensed driver. I have to start somewhere. I am pretty sure you did not start that way or always made that since you have been driving

 

how did you owe the company store?

 

I had other options to be honest but for me and my circumstances that I put myself thorough Swift was the best place for me to go

 

Update

So I left with my trainer last night. Pretty good guy and believe it or not he taught me a lot in the few hours that we have been together on this truck. I got tired early this morning and we pulled over and we are still getting rest. Nice guy and I believe he has been very honest as I have taken everything he said and I have not had any issues at all. It’s crazy what they don’t teach you in the schools tho. Still glad I did not attend a swift academy so therefore I’m not stuck here haha

 

So I have been on with the mentor for about a week now. Really can not complain about anything to be honest. We have really been moving. Within the past week I have driven in every type of weather except hail and tornados. We are currently in Alabama waiting to pick up a load shortly that is going to Oklahoma. He does talk a lot. More than I want sometimes. The only thing I really do not like is that he does not have many answers for me on the company side as he is an owner operator. He has given me great insight on becoming a owner operator which I do plan to do in my future. It just sucks that when I get to my terminal to test out I will have to ask someone where a few questions that he was unable to answer for me. My backing is awesome I do believe. Only issue I had so far was in New Mexico where the customer wanted a trailer into a tight spot. Luckily it did make it in but I will admit it took me longer than I wanted. Other than that things are great even though I am ready to get off of his truck and get my own. Just sucks having to listen to other people talk when you do not want to be bothered. Did I mention he snores so loudly
