    Enjoy yourself and get your own truck. Hey ask him how they judge the length of your mentorship. I have heard that they are allowed to shorten it if you show the skills you need.

    I am at the motel- Swift school starts in the morning!

    From my understanding it is 240 hours. Now if your mentor lets you drive 10 to 11 hours a day you could knock a week off of it. Just depends on your mentor. Good luck to you.
