I smell a thread that is about to be locked by a moderator...
I've been on the road for two weeks, and I apparently took way too long to back into a spot for one trucker to handle. That kind of garbage isn't...
When you have 130 drivers leave for every 100 you hire, you're going to be looking for new recruits constantly.
I'm a new trucker, and I've been yelled at over the CB for way less. The a-holes are going to be a-holes whether you like it or not for any reason...
BA in psychology. Needless to say, the search for work outside of the field started before I graduated.
For the record, I usually only drop about 5 mph if I feel uncomfortable unless it is an obviously sharp curve. I freak myself out, but I don't...
I am just finishing my second week with my mentor, and long story short I can't figure out how fast I can actually go in certain situations,...

I'm with Swift, and we've had at least two log book classes 99% focused on paper logs, and just a brief intro to e-logs. We also had to keep...
So the only real truck drivers that ever were or ever will be are from older generations? A bit arrogant and self-righteous, don't you think? It...
I just completed the Swift training program, and so far I'm pleased with the experience. I can't comment on the company otherwise as I'm not out...
Signing on with Swift for training. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Well, as of yesterday I passed my state CDL test and completed Swift's program. I start orientation on tuesday. I have to say that overall I am...
Have fun, I know I did.
Well I passed, so I'm a Swifty now! I will tell you this- nothing about the state test is any different from what you practice in school. It is a...
