<p>[QUOTE="JohnnyTheDrummer, post: 7901434, member: 116754"]Try to finish a full year before you jump ship. Trucking ain’t for sissies and working for Swift is even harder. I did my time there. 1.5 years. Was as good as I made it, but I had a very good driver manager. If you are not happy, take control, ask to go to reefer or dedicated account. Ask for a new DM if that’s your issue. Some people don’t take responsibility. I did. I fired my first mentor (trainer) because he wasn’t teaching me crap, fiended like a meth addict when we got a pre plan or a load and wouldn’t let me shower every few days. The dude would wear the same clothes for 7 days straight. Was a nightmare. I took responsibility for my training and my CDL. Got off his truck in Memphis and he was pissed. I didn’t care. They put me in a hotel, 2 days later I was in another trainers truck. He taught me what I needed to succeed. He and I are still good friends 5 yrs later. I now own my own truck and no I’m not a lease op with Swift. Good luck and stay focused. Have a safe trip driver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
