possible Noobie driver questions.

Swift...Home in NC.

Take that mechanics skills and sign up to flatbed at Swift. They have a flat terminal in GreerSC. The majority of Swift flats run a triangle from GafneySC to Indiana to Laredo and back. Not a bad gig. Usually the only thing that you will have to tarp is a steel coil, and that’s easy.

Besides coils, they pull Sprinter vans and school bus chassis.

 

Oh....well, sounds like you have an inate sense of safety awareness! Well, get ready to add a ton more because Swift and any body else you sign up with is gonna pack you full of plenty more! Take it in and utilize it......even while you are watching everyone else around you NOT USING IT.......thats the key.......actually CARING first, then actually USING the training..........do drivers who have been TRAINED to visually INSPECT the fifth wheel locking jaw actually VISUALLY CHECK IT? NO........but will YOU? ......

 

I think you are safely out of the woods on all of it....as I believe that enough time has elapsed for these different criminal and traffic items......per hiring standards most companies utilize and determine......

 

Your first year is going to suck complete ### at times.......AT TIMES......there is no way around the pains that come with this.....just do what YOU can to MINIMIZE them.......you may feel like a year is pretty long, but eek it out, hash out a good solud peemrformance.......and KEEP YOUR RECORD CLEAN.......dont bump, scrape, or scratch a thing........not a thing......do not drive on grass........do not back up on hwys , no u- turns .....i.e no dumb shltf........
