    So I just wanted to introduce my self. I start orientation with swift on the 20th and supposed to be heading out with a mentor immediately. I'm really excited to hit the road. This is something I have wanted to due for a while now and with me getting laid off a month ago,that really pushed me to get this going. Hope to meet some of you on the road.

    Best of luck to you out here. Don't be to surprised if you have to wait a few weeks for a mentor though. Unless you have something setup there is always a chance you might be on the back burner a bit.
     
    jds8710 Thanks this.

    Thank you and I hope I don't have to wait for a mentor.

    Hopefully I get a cool mentor. I have read some horror stories, and yes can't wait to get out of Cali.

    I was trying to get into Swift on the 21st, I think they are closed on the 20th in Lathrop... Only reason I know is cause I have 3 trucking school classmates going then.. I waited to long to decide over swift or werner...... Looks like I will be down there on the 27th if I dont hear from my recruiter soon.

    Congrats jds8710......
     
    jds8710 Thanks this.

    Thank you. I talk to my recruiter tomorrow about my bus ticket up there and I'll ask about that. You should push to get in next week.
