Few questions about school in AZ.

Hey everyone i just spoke with a recruiter this morning, she told me that for the swift cdl school they would bus me out to arizona to complete their school there. I live in California and was wondering if i get a class A in arizona, i have to switch it back to california when i am done correct? I have also heard that you have to have your class C in that state before you can obtain a class A so will I have to get a class C in Arizona also? Thanks for any help and ill copy and paste the info that she sent me in an email. 0.25 cents a mile, good thing im not in this for the money




****Swift has developed a Training Course that will not only guide you through obtaining your CDL permit but will also track your skills as you progress. You will be assigned a User Name and Password so that you may access the course online at www.SwiftOnlineCDL.com The course is required before attending the truck school.

Students are responsible for there own meals. For non local students Swift will arrange Transportation via Greyhound, however you are responsible for the hotel cost of $500 which will be deducted from your pay at $23 per wk.

Once you have your CDL we can then schedule you for 2-3days of New Driver Orientation, followed by 6wks over the road Paid Training w/a Certified Mentor. The pay rate during the 6Wks training is Wk 1 thru Wk 4 is $450 and Wk 5 thru Wk 6 is $500 (pay is based on 7 day work schedule). Once Release from the Training Program you will be assigned your own Tractor and start to be paid .25cents per mile. During your 1st year you will receive 5 Pay Increases (3rd Month, 4th Month, 6th Month, 9th Month and 1st Year Anniversary at which point you will be paid .32cents per mile. There after your pay will continue to increase Annually until you reach the Max Pay Level on your 5th Yr Anniversary.

The Cost of the Program is $3900 and each student will sign a contract that they will work with Swift for 13 months. Over the 13months, Swift will deduct $37.50 from your weekly pay check so that by the end of the 13th Month you will have paid $1950. At that point Swift will match your $1950 to Pay Off the $3900 loan. If you decide to continue your career, and I hope that you will, Swift will reimburse you $37.50 Per Wk until you have been paid back the $1950 that you have already paid during your 1st 13months of employment. In other words by the end of your 2nd year you will have received your schooling for Free.

As an Entry Level Driver the position you will start at is an Over the Road Position where you are out for 14days and home for 2-12 Days (Your Preference). If this sounds like a Career you would like to pursue please Sign and Fax the Release form attached below so that Swift Transportation has your permission to Verify your Work History. Thank You.

Thanks, yeah I read the good and the bad about here about swift but I figure because they're such a big company not everyone is gonna have a good experience but as of now Im just trying to keep a positive attitude about it and hopefully it works out good. As of now it's either go to Arizona and go to the swift school or Fontana to go to the school for central refrigerated
