Starting cdl school swift as first job

Or if worse comes to worse, see if there is a small business with a SECURE yard that will let you park for a small fee. Your terminal may be hesitant to let you bobtail home without secure parking available.

The downside of bobtailing home as a company driver is your drive time counts against your hours of service. Bear that in mind. Best bet is to park a car at the terminal.

 

4 miles not that far to walk. Or you can call taxi/ uber to get you home .

 

Bicycle. Fits in truck, good exercise, makes 4 miles easy.

As far as options.. you can go straight to flatbed from training or at least it was a year ago.

If I started over, I'd still get my cdl the way I did and then go to schneider bulk instead of schneider van. Van is getting boring honestly.

Nothing wrong with swift. Nothing wrong with schneider either. Apply to both and see who offers more money?

 

If it helps, I've been with sni for 13 months and I'm at .46 now. Plus the $2500 bonus. Plus the tuition reimbursement.. so that's another $2900. It's not terrible. But they do go a bit out of the way in hand holding and preaching safety.

The new trucks have inverters. Mines a "17" Freightliner and came with an 1800 watt inverter factory installed.

@Moosetek13 Mine as well, and I love it.

I've heard that some shops will install an even larger inverter upon request.
1800 is fine for me, though. I only need about 1000W at any given time.
