Starting cdl school swift as first job

@Chinatown may have some better suggestions for ya, if you're open. Other than that, best wishes, man.

 

Gotcha. Really, I've got nothing against Swift. Were I twenty something and starting out, I'd consider them myself greatly, as well. Then again, if I started all over; I'd probably rather go flatbed. Sometimes it's better to go OTR with vans and reefs for awhile before jumping to flats or tanks (like I drive...) just to learn the ropes...... THEN you can learn the product part.

I believe (read somewhere?) that after 6 months with Swift, you can request to go with their flatbed division.

I'm not of the species of people that hate on Swift, by any means.

Best wishes, man!

 

ps: KLLM is trying to go ALL L/P for the most part; so I hear. I'd nix that idea. Don't know Howard, at all.

SNI is pretty strict.... .they don't tolerate mistakes real nicely. Wouldn't hire me ten years ago, even though I had 10 years experience in an 18 wheeler, due to a speeding ticket~! I'm actually glad I didn't get on with them. They are quite picky; ask @Thull .

Being young and "green" (pardon the expression,) Swift (or Howard? don't know them) would be my 1st choice, were I you.

 

Yep ... Somebody else can confirm, but I understand they will also install a 1500w inverter on company truck and the new trucks come with one.

 

I've heard similar. I think you may have to "purchase" the inverter, and have them do the install, or they take it out of your paychecks.

 

@scottied67 .... didn't you drive for them at one point? @Thull ?? Gonna have to wait on Swifties to chime in on that one... someone will be along.

The questions you ask are good ones.... and personally I think it your best bet. Screw the haters; do your job well and carry on!
