Once training is done - how long before getting a truck?

Took 1 1/2 weeks for me to get in my truck after training but I'm not in the family plan and not really sure how they work that. This was at the Gary,IN terminal.

 

Nothing goes fast when you first start with Swift. Sometimes you will have no wait for a truck and sometimes you will wait for a week or more. Does not matter what terminal you are at. Just depends on what's available.

I have seen 10 trucks waiting on drivers and two hours later they are all gone. Best thing to do is get off that mentor truck as soon as you are ready. Also I have not seen anyone making 40 cents a mile working for Swift that just started even with some experience. maybe I am wrong but you may want to find out how much.

remember one thing. just because you get a truck does not mean you are going to make enough to live on for the first month. usually hard times when you first start then it gets better.

 

WHY WOULD YOU START A JOB AND NOT KNOW HOW MUCH YOU ARE BEING PAID

 

I can see where this whole thing is going to end...........

 

AMEN brother!

 

Were you trying to access it from a computer on the internet, or from a terminal kiosk?

That section only works from the kiosks.

 

Let's put it this way, anything you can access from an outside network, so can a talented hacker. Or even untalented if their network security isn't up to par. Your husbands ssn and your bank info is (or will be) on that page. Not exactly info you want unscrupulous individuals to have.

Also, when I finished with my mentor it took 3 days to get a truck, and I went directly on to a dedicated account. Went OTR a couple months later though as I couldn't handle the 100% driver unloads.
