newbie swift trainee

All packed and ready to roll out. Lathrop bound

 

See ya there, ridding the bus down...

 

I couldn't get in today, seems an instructor got fired? I start in Lewiston 3/5. I hope you guys keep posting through the class.

 

Just finished drug and road test. Besides that a while lot up hurry up and wait.

 

should I bring a good book?

 

It couldn't hurt. Went through a safety class today, and got all the paper work handled. Had some lady come in to try and get us to open a bank account. Besides that pretty slow. Long day.

 

A company account or a local bank? Fill me in.

 

They kinda push a little bit for you to have a bank account so that your pay can be direct deposited. The other option would be to load it on your fuel card. You can opt to have all or part of your pay direct deposited. For example, when I was with Swift, I had 200 dollars put on my fuel card each week and the rest direct deposited into my bank account

 

I think it was a regional bank but was hooked up with swift. I'm just going to do direct deposit to my current bank account.

 

Make sure you can double clutch cause they sent home 4 today cause they didn't know how.... Downshifting, Also know how to hook and unhook the trailer... First tests you get before paperwork starts...
