Sent home from SWIFT school

Isn't there a connection between CR ENGLAND & SWIFT. As usual I believe there is more here than meets the eye, But than again you did sign a federal form & technicaly a lie.
25yr's in this business & I am amazed at the quality of students in school's now a day's.
where is common sense where are the basic's every student should know like reading writing spelling problem solving.

 

Aside from having terminals within a few miles of each other in the same city, no. Businesswise, they are direct competitors.

 

that is for sure.

it seems like the perfect time for the old :"poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part"
line, because knowing is the whole battle for the driver and a prospective employer. If the employer needs to have a list of all prescriptions being taken by said driver then all prescription must be disclosed.

i just faxed my long physical forms to several prospective employers and there are no current medications listed on that form. If I take another physical w/ u/a & hair folickle and oxycodone shows up there is going to be some one w/ a huge problem and that is this guy (me).

The point I am making is that the industry has safe guards in place so that people don't beat the system early on because if there is an accident down the road and the driver gets a "Prescription Drug DUI" there could be life altering consequences for all parties involved.

 

SWIFT, and CENTRAL REFRIGERATED are connected at the hip, maybe that's what you're thinking.

 

It won't go on your DAC. You weren't an employee. No worries there.

If what you're saying is what really happened, we should be seeing you go somewhere else soon. If you're looking for company sponsored training, Prime does okay even if they leave a few minor things out. Also, don't rule Central out. Just because it's Swift's kissing cousin, doesn't mean information flows freely back and forth. Reviews on Central's training have been mostly positive.

 

CRE does work for some folks. Good luck to you.

 

Yes, good luck at CRE. I just hope that when you get a trainer and head out on the road, you get a trainer that only has one student on the truck, and that is you. they have some trainers that actually have 2 students at a time on the truck. Ran into one the other day and he did tell me that he does, and his truck runs close to 30k miles per month.
