    Just completed Swift training August 24th - October 5th and am now out on the road on my first company-team run in El Paso, TX. I made a few YouTube videos about my 6-weeks on the road. Check it out if your so inclined! I even got props from Lisa Kelly of Ice Road Truckers! I also have many more video blogs about Swift journey so far...

    Great work with the videos! So many of the places are familiar and continue to inspire me every time I go through those areas.

    Good luck with the start of your solo career. Enjoy the journey.

    I saw a couple roads that I have never been on, even after nearly 3 years.

    Still, a video of your actual training would have been nice.

    Thanks for the comments...if you check my youtube account I made videos throughout the entire training summarizing all the madness that ensued. I plan to continue making them as a rookie team-company driver and who knows from there?!

    I like your videos! Lots of good information for a prospective Swift driver like myself. It looks like you are enjoying it so far and i'm optimistic that when I begin my journey with CDL school in Feb. that I will have a good experience as well. Keep up the good work with the videos, they have really helped me to understand what to expect.
