Beginning my Process with Swift

sounds better than what there feeding us up here in atlanta mrs winners chicken all three days i'm bout chicken out

 

I talked with Swift today and I'm in the same sit as many have my CDL since 1997 but havent driven since late 2000 have logged over 350,000 miles. They told me that I would have to go to an orientation then a road test then I guess a trainer but they said the rate would only be .25cpm. Does this sound normal to anyone?

 

Cycloguy, that is the starting rate for new drivers and as I understand it, you would be considered new. You'll get 6 raises your first year if it's the same as when I started out with Swift. Good luck, man.

 

Thanks Schmidtrock And Bigmike Yes we all have to start somewhere I would love to get on with the flatbed div but not sure if they are doing that out of the Ocala terminal but van is good for now. Hey Schmidtrock I'm not to far from ya up here in Middleburg. Have been following your post keep it up. Thanks again.

 

the only three terminals i heard during orientation that has flatbed divisions is greer sc, gary in, and phoenix az. and .25 a mile for newbies is right thats what our instructor told all the people that had to go out with a trainer for 6 weeks hope this helps

 

Mentor assigned?

 

dont know but from how i took it, it was those 3 terminals that took flatbedders dont know where you went to orientation at if what i'm saying is wrong i apologize
