    I'm liking Swift and just want to get started.. I've apprenticed previously in the photography field and it's the best way to do it. Anyone have some time to train? I'm cool!

    I would strongly suggest that instead of asking for a trainer, you apply for and get accepted into a cmpany training program. If Swift is your choice...and I won't comment one way or the other...then contact Swift and get into thier training program. If you manage to just get with a driver and have him, or her, train you, you will still be left with the fact that few, if any, companies will hire you without experience or without completing an approved school. Its just easier to go to thier school, and learn the right way.

    not knowing how to properly reply to your thread,i will state that perhaps communicating with swift will put you in the direction that you need to head.

    Ummm, friend...San Antonio is primo location if you want to run regional. It's right smack in the middle of everything in Texas. You have the oilfields, potash plants, tons of local and regional companies...etc. Why not look for a company based out of your area?

    Even if I wanted to run 49 and Canada, I would look for a company in the area.

    Long day Patty? If he was already there, he would know that Swift has MENTORS, not trainers. Plus, he doesn't get to pick and choose, his Mentor would be assigned.

    You could try Frigid Swift (formerly known as Central Refrigerated){and formerly formerly known as Stinky Simon}...If Swift doesn't give you chills Central will for sure!!! ROFLMAO:yes2557:
