    As you all know or may know I started Swift Academy on February 15, 2016 I passed my Test on March 2, 2017. I started my Mentorship March 11, 2016 & I finished it April 11, 2016. It was 200 LOOOONG hours but I got through it. Today April 12, 2016 I took my upgrade test & passed it! I'm Officially a rookie driver! Well once I get a truck that is. They are currently looking for me a truck & may have to bus me somewhere to get one. I'm excited & thrilled! Ready for the challenges of Trucking! Also ready to get home for a few days. I've been away from home for like 8 weeks now, ready to see my GF & son. Overall I have NO complaints about Swift & would recommend them to anyone looking to enter this industry & has no money to pay for the school out of pocket. They took me in when I had no money to pay for school, trained me & I got my CDL. That's the ultimate goal anyway. I Plan to stick it out for a year & see how things go if I'm happy I'll stay of not I'll have experience to go elsewhere. Thanks for all the support you guys!

    Congrats man... Take it slow this first year, learn and learn... Make your money after thus year if you decide to move on from Swift to a better outfit... Keep your record clean is the main thing... Don't get lazy, GOAL.... Always... Even me, no shame with GOAL.... let the onlookers look on... No shame in getting out and looking....
