    No but it WAS A SWIFT TRAINER not any of the other one's which you have listed.

    I was only speaking with personal experience with this particular incident
    , while this poor training may be common at those you listed, I have not personally witnessed it.

    If I had personal experiences in ####### moves from all those companies there would be different posts in regards to each "Incident":yes2557:

    Swift has a bad reputation, and this sort of thing is why.


    Calm down, no body said ya'll were that way. But plenty enough of your fellow drivers are to give them a bad name.


    Consider this...... YEARS before I got a CDL, before I ever considered getting a CDL, or even thought of driving truck.... I knew that Swift, JB, SNI, etc etc etc SUCKED.

    There is a reason their reputation precedes them. For one thing allowing a 6 month old CDL holder to be a trainer is stupidity of the highest order. That is where many of their problems start.

    I edited the word "freaking" out.


    If you want I can give an infraction, would that make you happier?

    The site OWNER asks his mod staff to remove F word variants, please feel free to discuss this with him.

    It's more than 1 out of 26,000, for sure.
    If you're gonna drive for Swift, you had better get a thicker skin. I knew Swift had a reputation for hiring crappy drivers more than 20 years ago. Instead of going off on those that bash Swift, why don't you push yourself to be a driver instead of a steering wheel holder, so that others will say "Swift drivers suck, except THAT guy."?

    If your attitude out on the road is anything like it is here, you'll have trouble.
     
    Brickman Thanks this.

    Well the reason I did not say anything to him was because three other drivers beat me to it, figured it might be a little over kill

    Nobody said you needed to do the trainers job, and some Swift trainers are bad. You just make sound like it it just Swift that have drivers and trainers that do not have a clue.

    There are many ignorant drivers out there from other companies and so called O/O, but it is your kind of attitude that makes it bad for the rest of us.
    Don't you have something better to do then label other drivers????:biggrin_25512:
