I recently got out of the Swift academy in Lewiston and I will answer what I can for you. 1.Swift has been good to me so far. Most of the issues I've had have been my own fault. Since being on my own I've taken home about $500 a week.2. I think your wife can ride with you however, you have to get clearance from Swift and there are some forms to fill out.3. Swift will give you a no interest loan for the schooling and loan you the money for the hotel room. They will start deducting payments from your check after you go solo. No money down. You will have to get your CDL and medical cared on your own. You will also have to pay for the State testing.You can read some of my other posts and they may give you some more information about what to expect.Good luck!

the school loan will be taken out of your checks for a year and then they"ll payback the monthly installments for the second year. this is the way i understand how it works. if i"m wrong hopefully someone can let us know for sure

As far as your wife you will have to ask a recruiter.[/QUOTE]

Piece of advice - Don't take what a " recruiter " says about anything as gospel.
