Going To Swift Truck Driving Institute August 6

Hi.. I will be at the same school, starting July 9th. Hope all will be good. I will be leaving the week before you start. Aug. 1st I think. Then after that I will be In Greer, S.C. at the Swift terminal there.

 

I might be going to Swift in Idaho by the end of the month. No date set yet. Or MCT July 21st.

You hear the good and the bad, but there is good and bad anywhere you go. will be interesting, i am sure. what have you guys heard?

 

Well CR England seems to have a reputation right now, not being a decent company to work for....

Swift on the other hand hasn't really had a bad rep far as a company to work for... They have had a rep of having bad drivers working for them. Meaning reckless drivers.. That would all depend on you if you are going to be a reckless driver though.. As I tell all people that I come across entering a school, take it serious... Don't hang out walking around the hotel chasing girls, going to the club ext... Be the one who is in the room with other people who want to study... You will have time to socialize after you get trained.. When you get there look around and pay attention to who really wanting to learn, and stay away from the people who just want to act cool ext... It's something that should be taken serious and if you do take it serious you should come out of class with the "knowledge" to "become" a safe driver..

 

Thanx joe. I have read 'take it serious' before, and i would. I would be the guy in the room studying all the time. and then making something to eat....study some more then go to bed. The hours you sit in class for the first week seem like the hardest part of the thing. Getting on 'the range' and getting some seat time, will keep the blood flowing.

 

I will be starting at Swift in San Antonio July 16th...originally it was suppose to be july 9th but was pushed back a week.

 

SEE YOU IN PASSING AT SCHOOL...I START THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY AFTER YOU.

 

Just wanted to say good luck to all of you on your new ventures!!





Ya and things will blow over on the seashores of old Mexico

 

good luck you will all need it.. make sure you have plenty of $$$ and don't spend it foulishly...

 

I'm impressed........ most students are more worried about learning how to parrallel park and dock....... some are even worried about double clutching and floating gears.......
if all you have to be concerned about is a little reading so you can pass the permit test then this should be a breeze for you!

Good Luck!


(Oh, btw snowball.... have you already memorizied the 6000 words you will have to say for the pre-trip while you are inspecting about 150 items on the truck?)
