I am new to the forums as well as to the trucking industry. I in my 3rd week of working with swift. I have a pretty decent mentor. Although I have not been through a trucking school, I can finally run up and down the gears with minimal damage. I can't back worth a crap, but I have only attempted to do so 5 times. I'm just happy I haven't crashed my instructors recently paid-off rig.
