strating swift on june18th

Run while you still can.....that school is a joke

 

hi boored88..im still unable to view the you-tube vids he posted ,they wont load..but i start on the 18th also. ur recrutier should have ur bus scheule by now if ur bussing. mine came in n im leaving on sat for a 15 hr bus ride from fl..as far as the prosses, i guess is pretty much what is posted on here,n my recruiter said the same thing ,..1st day alot of waiting around,pee tests,sighning papers,instructor talking ..i heard the 2nd day we get to the trucks, pre trip, n outdoor on the lot for the rest of the time.im ready ,r u??

 

Wait until the glue in your shoes melts from standing on the old airport tarmac for 11 hours every day waiting for your turn in a truck......i remember that place.....screw learning to drive, I just wanted air conditioning!

 

lol..thats what i heard.i cant be as hot as fl in june,we see 95 deg every day till sept..uuugghh!!

 

Just Get in, get out, do your time with the company, and move on to somewhere better... I'm at swift right now coming up on a year and am about to go to averitt and run daycab. Swift has a bad rep and a lot of other drivers will treat you like scum for being a swifty. I have a crappy dm who is too lazy to answer qualcomm messages most of the time and gets mad if someone tries to call. Yep I have tried to switch dms but the terminal manager refused. I get about 2k miles a week and average 300 to 400 bucks a week take home. I run my ### off when I can, but usually I sit around waiting for a load. I'll get a load in the morning and it won't pick up till 4 in the afternoon, live load, then drive it 400 miles to get live unloaded the next day at 2pm, and then sit until the next morning waiting on a load.....just like I am right now

 

that sucks ,seems they would want u to do the miles with a new dm..well if things go like that for me with my dm,i plan on going after the 1st yr..get my exp.move on,,glad u found another company,good idea..much more money out there for guys that want the miles..sorry to hear ur having a bad exp there ur first yr..keep ur head up ,it will get better .u seem determine to drive so u should do fine.thats how im goin into this company,knowing im going to drive untill i retire n keeping a positive attitude my first few yrs... good luck witch.dokta

 

Ocala terminal is improving,

you should do OK !!

 

i do the school and get out and no need to complain about what loads i get, of course its going to be hard starting out.

 

tell yourself that after you get a 26 dollar paycheck because you took home time
