Passed my test that I had to retake and am sooo relieved. Now I can start my own real life journey thru Swift. I have been posting on Hubby done but time for my own point of view thru the training. Today was Dr., and signing my life away, even tho it is not supposed to cost, because hubby went thru. But still had to sign the dotted line. Then tried to stay awake thru the reading of said papers by the instructor. She presented it great but it was still numbing. One fella went with me to retest for permit and sadly did not pass. My heart went out to him, there but for the grace of God go I. Will try to keep this updated but first need to memorize pretrip. Did I hear a huge ughhh lol? Thanky again for the wonderful support!
WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! I'm proud of you and I'd like to point out that I've always said "you can do it!" On the pretrip, what helped me was to work on the areas, then memorize the parts in that area. Like an outline.
Good on ya Wyldfyur! I drove by Swift in Kansas City and honked as I went by.... Keep up the good work, study hard and learn lots!
Hey wyld, were you out on the course today practicing back ups and such? Drove by this morning after dropping hubby off. Thought about stopping but wasn't sure if you were there or not, saw a few guys but no women.
OMG I wish you coulda stopped by! Prob was me! Three days under the belt and so far going really well. Sadly we had another go home, crazy mix up with her recruiter from Phoenix and it came back to bite her. We, females, cried and hugged wishing her a speedy come back. So far my percentage isnt where I wanted it to be but I am way above the 80% so can't whine. I got my pretrip specific to Idaho and am studying like crazy. Course not to mechanically minded so hope I will get it down. Sam came in today and gave us all a chat and gave some neat phrases like pitman arm..you will be in the pits if ya lose it lol, stuff like that. I feel calm about things and will try to stay that way, have a peace that I didnt have before. Thanky for your continued prayers everyone. Instructors are doing a great job and are very helpful, they WANT us to pass! Dont know which instructor yet. I just cant say enough about how encouraging each and everyone of ya'll have been for me, really positive and when I come in at nite I head for here first to get my jolt of uplifting. Ya'll dont know, really know how much you mean to me and how much you help me. My computer angels. I luvs yas.
Awww!!! We luvs you too wyld! Hubby loved sam! He is a bit gruff, but a very very nice man. I enjoyed meeting him. I am sure whoever you get you will do just fine. Now get your butt in gear and pass that pre-trip. (with luck it won't be a pain in the butt like WA)
Congratulations! And keep up the good work. Ya know, Wyldfyur, it's really great when people like you, your hubby and the other new forum members who are giving Swift a try, take the time to post about your experiences. It reinforces my belief that Swift IS making an effort to be selective in hiring and training new drivers. P.S. You might know that I am a Swift newbie. So Swift must've started tightening up after I got hired!
