Swift to start a career?

Suprised, they are supposed to be in the middle of a hiring freeze. You have just opened up one more opening in the trucking business. They no longer have to advertise, just accept a pre-hire. Worth about $1,000,000 a month according to Con-way latest release. (smile)

 

They are still hiring people with no CDLs to attend their school...

 

I just completed orientation with Swift last week. I went to their driving academy in Millington, TN Jan 26th. After two weeks at their school, you head back to your home terminal for a week of road training. This starts on a Monday and they will take you to your state DMV that friday to get your CDL.. For example, my home terminal is Gary, IN but I am from Illinois. So, I was paired with two other Illinois drivers and they took us to Morris, IL to test.

I am in the process of waiting for my mentor to unload so I can meet up with him. He is snowed in on the east coast right now. Once I get on his truck I will be on it for 42 days.

After that, I head back to my home terminal (Gary) for three days of testing. Two of those days are for flatbed testing as I got hired on as a flatbedder. Once all of that is complete I will be given my own truck and cleared for solo.

 

How are there road tests during oreintation. Graduate school in first part of December havent been in a truck since then. Should off been but got screwed over by another company, but anyways just wondering how hard the were.

 

who say what from where is this info caming from???

 

My head hurts from trying not to murder the english language for so long with apparently no reason behind it

 

I got a pre-hire, and I live in Atlanta. How long did you have to wait for your orientation?

 

Look at his post date...that was 3 months ago..this is an old thread, many things have drastically changed.

 

You got that right.......I am now in control. I will take over all other trucking companies, then fuel companies, then the discount centers then, then I shall RULE THE WORLD!!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA




oh wait.........maybe that's just a movie I watched. Sorry......never mind.
