Are Swift trucks automatic or still manual? What can a student expect when training with a mentor, and how is the pay while training?

There is a swift thread that would probably be of better advice, search swift it will show up
KillingTime and dptrucker Thank this. -
Swift has both manuals and auto. Depends how good your mentor is at teaching. If you dont like that mentor, request another one. Unless they changed it,( i quit swift late 2015) pay is your states minimum wage plus 1 dollar while driving and just minimum wage for on duty not driving. Mentor will be in passanger seat for your first 50 hrs of driving. Then if they feel you are ready then run like teams.

Aahhh, training with a mentor (trainer)...sooooo much to look forward to ! welcome to trucking. Be flexable and remember, it's just a short period of time, you're not getting married. You'll either love your trainer or hate him. I actually married one of my trainees years ago ! And she had to divorce her then current hubby to marry me! And it lasted 6 whole weeks ! Just concentrate on learning. You won't learn EVERYTHING, but you will learn something. Be prepared to sit in Motel 6 while trainer is on home time also.

Try asking for a trainer that is driving a manual.
The truck they put me in was manual. But i came in with experience. -
I thought he was asking for a manual of how he was supposed to drive at swift!!
