    Again I called today for my weekly check-in. I couldn't even get through to anyone, I called my recruiter, but all day it just went to her answering machine and I never got to talk to anybody.

    I am starting to think that I will probably never receive that call from Swift. I have read things like they are not hiring from NC and that there is not going to be any orientation for awhile.

    I too was working with a recruiter out of Memphis that was supossed to send me to orientation a few months ago but my DAC was all wrong so they didn't hire me. I had my DAC corrected with USIS and now all thats on it is a misdermeanor DUI from 1991 so maybe i'll try again. They had all wrong info on my repeort like a DUI for drugs, and about 4 wrong items that weren't mine! Glad I finally got that straightened all out! I too live in NY and would have to go upstate to Syracuse,NY for orientation as I have old OTR experience....

    I called and was told to call back tomorrow because they were opening some slots for orientation and I have a good chance. I hate that I am asking this only for orientation, but wish me luck guys!

    I wish you luck but I have been through it with Swift for 2 months to be turned down because of many errors on my DAC which all were recently removed FINALLY! I may try again with Swift, still tossing it around.....

    good luck, Teaforone. My recruiter called me a couple of days ago and I told him that I finally moved from N.Y to Rhode Island, just to let him know that I DID make the move

    Well, I called on Tuesday like I was told and the Swift recruiter said that they had not received any info for orientation yet so I should call back tomorrow. I called back yesterday and was told that the orientation that would take place at the terminal I would be based out of (if hired) was not taking anybody but brand new students who do not have their CDLs yet. The recruiter said she would call me if anything ever came-up.

    I finished orientation yesterday in Richmond VA. Going out with my mentor this evening. I had heard all about the bad things at Swift but after my orientation it seems they have gotten serious about saftey and getting rid of the bad seeds. You my want to call my recruiter in Harrisburg Pa. He was really great to work with and got me in real quick.
    His name is Ron. LOL.:biggrin_25520:
