    I had the attitude as u when I first started. Plan on a shower every other day and keep baby wipes with u, also keep a big slam mt dew bottle in your truck.

    EXACTLY!!

    If you can't get a shower daily, then you have no self-esteem.

    My husband just got off his Swift mentor's truck, and is waiting for another mentor (same type of problems described throughout this blog). After reading here, I told him that Jimmy Upshaw was recomended by someone. He checked into it, and that mentor currently has a student and another one waiting (someone already took the advise posted here). Does anyone know of a good Swift mentor to request, or is there a better place to ask about this. There is very little information when doing a general google search. My husband has driven for just over 3 weeks, and the mentor was just too abusive. Any help would be great.

    Sorry to hear that maybe this mentor that was too abusive sounds like the same one my husband went through. Not sure my husband's old mentor is under investigation. your husband needs to report him as well. Like everyone else has advised my husband to do and he did. I would recommend taking advise from some of them on my blog. They r great. REPORT, REPORT, REPORT on this mentor.

    Hi everyone,
    Sorry it has been awhile. hubby on the road again since Saturday. Going good I guess so far. But this time he took our oldest son with him. They were in Washington. Last I heard they were driving through Oregan. Heading to Salt lake City.

    Hi there! He needs to go over the DM's head and go to the Fleet Manager and tell him whats going on. It's called chain of command.
