Sadly, no.
I have a list of them, but no map. I think I counted 34 of them for Swift.

Ever since Knight took over I have wondered about their network of terminals as well.
Knight trailers and drivers show up at Swift terminals all the time now, but I have no idea of what those resources are that Swift drivers might have access to.

 

Is Abilene part of the Knight family? If so, do you see their trucks at any Swift terminals?

 

I haven't yet.
I have only seen knight trucks and trailers at our Sumner terminal

 

Dress like your ready to go to work, clean, pants above your ### crack, real shoes or better yet boots. Take a shower, normal stuff.

SWIFT or any other driver mill is the same, what your going to get out of it, has mostly to do with your attitude, good luck. And this starts right here ignore the loud mouth that wants to kick you in the shins. The world full of them.

 

Dont forget your gloves to perform a PMCS i.e pretrip.

 

@SeniorTacos

First of all these experienced drivers on here have heard this question a 1000 times already. These jaded sumsabiches assume you are only looking for confirmation bias and approval to do what you are asking. If you listen they will help you become a driver worth holding a steering wheel at the least. They are right +/- 80% of the time. They know what they’re talking about. It would do you well to listen and call on the other options offered by @Chinatown. A company like Swift et.al is just teaching you to get a CDL. They’re not teaching you to drive truck. That you’ll have to do with a trainer but you’ll learn more when you go solo. That’s where the real hard stuff starts. Be prepared to be gone 1-3 months at a time for an hourly wage of $10 per hour. The first year (which I’m only 1/2 through) is a grind. It gets better if you’re not stupid, short sighted, and realize you have to learn.

Listen and or read what @Ridgeline, @TripleSix, @Dave_in_AZ, @MACK E-6, @x1Heavy, and @scottied67 (to name only a few) have to say. You’d better block off a week just to read.

Their experience is well earned. Respect that and respect a commercial (professional) drivers license.

I read @IluvCATS to laugh. You’ll need it

 

You cant never go wrong with @IluvCATS

 

OP, unless you're a complete **tard, you'll get in just fine. Just remember that in a mega training company like swift you're going to be surrounded by losers. These are people who failed in life and think that becoming a trucker is their fast pass to success. Probably because the recruiter told them so. These people are so low performing that if you ask them to grab a bucket of water and just stand at the corner of the room, they will find a way to screw it up. These are the people you see sideways on the side of the road. They are the ones that complain and whine non-stop and think that the industry, the country, and the whole of society are all out to get them. Don't be that guy. Shut up, keep your nose clean, keep your eyes open, and do as you're told. Drive like you're future depends on it. Things will move on from there. Good luck.
