    You should check the dates.
    That was about 1.5 years ago.

    He probably already quit the profession. Most do.

    I'm curious about the OP.

    That's the Swift CDL academy where I got my Class A also. I rate the Lewiston Swift CDL Academy a LOT higher than I'd rate the Swift Lewiston Terminal.

    So what is wrong with the terminal? I've never had a problem there.
    The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and the shop has bent over backwards for me.

    The last time I used the shop was to repair a mud flap bracket that was bend down at a 45 degree angle, and to replace the missing flap.
    It was also just after our speed increase was authorized.
    It was a weekend so they were light on staff with other things ahead of me, but I was in and out of there in about an hour, and with my speed increased.
    It was a 1700 mile load, so the time spent in the shop was more than made up for by the extra 3 MPH.

    I have a lot of sour grapes for Swift right now, and a lot of it had to do with people in that terminal. Recognizing that it
    is sour grapes, I'll not go into it.

    I'm glad for you that you're loving it though. Good on you.

    Everyone has their own experiences.

    Many of those experiences are influenced by ones own actions and attitudes.
