    Bori07 you may be solo, worse case 50-100 hours unless you run over a cute little puppy and old lady...

    @cryto that is so true. Just I'm new to trucking, aggressive driving is the last thing I want a trainer to tell me within the 1st hour of us talking. That make sense?

    Newtrucker. How r u liking things so far? I really like the way u express ur self. U seem to have a good solid head between those sholders. My husband and I both went thru Swit training- went to C-1 driving school in Ft. Worth. That was back in 08. We learned alot. Alot of what was good and bad. We both got GREAT trainers from Swift but unfortunately that's where the awesomeness stopped. But after our 1year we went to another company(USA) and rocked it there for almost three years. I think our experience would have been better if we would have had a different DM and possibly been out of a different terminal. Keep up that good attitude - that and safety awareness is 99 percent of the job.
