Immigrant wanting to truck

Sage is not PTDI accredited. Swift is. If the O/P wants to pay cash for his CDL academy, he can do so whether it is accredited Swift or non accredited Sage. Either way, he is not "nailed down" to any one company, as he will not owe anything for school. Pays cash, remember? Swift's program is accepted at many more places than Sage, whether you're willing to admit that or not.

To the O/P: if you put two years in incident free with any company, you will pretty much have your choice of jobs.

White Dog, you may want to rethink insulting a man's wife with such terminology. Just sayin.

 

@Injun, with a title like Mama Swift I'm going to take it your knowledgeble about them haha...Do they have a main yard here in OKC I seem to remeber them having one off Reno? Also whats their training program like for rookies? You can PM if you like or just answer here, thanks...

 

If you're on I-40, take the Morgan Road exit and turn right. Go to the "T" and turn right. The yard is on your right.

As for training, mine was almost five years ago. Things have changed a bit since then. Suggest you go to the Swift forum and look at some of the threads there. You will have more information, which will make it easier to narrow your question a bit.

Thanks will check it out...5yrs with same company they must be doing something right...

 

I haven't been with Swift the entire time. I started trucking with them then left after a year. I ran for a tiny company that went belly up because of the American Axle strike and they pretty much had all their eggs in one basket.

Then I went to a large refrigerated company for nearly two years. The business model was not compatible with mine, so I left on good terms and returned to Swift. I've been back since the first part of July last year. I couldn't be happier. Well, okay, occasionally I grouse about something, but overall, I'm glad I came back.

 

Grousing is a part of trucking. Might even be "constitutional". Heck, when I had my own lil company I groused aout ME.

 

Why are you still here? Get out then.
