Start orientation on monday(31st) but what should i bring with me?

I thought swift training was six weeks minimum, no exceptions unless you have very recent experience.

 

It is 240 hours which can be 4-6 weeks depending on how well you do.

KH

 

lol...it can be 8 weeks depending on trainer and if the truck sits in shop...yep...that 240 can vary as far as actual time frame.....

 

Take bath towel and wash cloth as Swift does not offer them any more at terminals for showering.

 

well i took the greyhound lastnight at 10:30 pm and finally got to the hotel thismorning at around 8:30am. i have my cdl, ssc, and i couldnt find my birth certificate so i grabbed my passport. hope that will work if they need it. and my misilance stuff. hope everything works out well. will let you guys know how orination and such goes thank you all for your good feedback

 

Remember it takes two weeks for you to get your first check. Take what you need. I took plenty of clothes in a suitcase. One duffel bag filled with my shower stuff and a sleeping bag and pillow.

Bring some disinfectant that smells good just in case you get a stinky mentor.

Poor soul may your mentor have mercy on you.


Orientation is very straight forward. Just a bunch of company stuff and free lunches. They will give you your drivers manual when you get done and hopefully you will get a mentor right away. Took me five weeks to get a stinky one and thank god I only have a few more weeks left to get my own truck.. AS far as birth certificate I did not need mine.
