    Has anyone heard about swift letting new drivers go into this local account in the Chicago land area..I'm 116 hours into my mentorship and according to my mentor he has had 2 students jump straight into local after their 200 hours?

    I was very lucky to have a great trainer who recommended me for the Chep Dedicated acct out of Belvidere, ILL. That was all before I upgraded and was given info to read about the job offer before doing either the written or road test. I was able to speak with 2 drivers that are on the Chep acct and got some great info and advice. I took the job and love it. I start between 6-7am Mon-Fri and am usually done for the day about 2-3pm.
    My first Saturday on the job will be tomorrow, due to a truck breakdown today that put me behind. It's good pay, I get to sleep in my own bed every night and can even do some other things I love at night. I never expected a job like this when I went to orientation, but Swift has been great to me and I highly recommend Swift to anyone thinking of getting into trucking.

    What's the pay on the account, my trainer is in connection with someone who is pouring me on the account in a couple days and I'm excited, but I'd like to know ahead of time what I will be expecting for a paycheck or if it's cmp, percentage of load, salary or hourly?

    I don't know if everyone handling Chep gets paid the same, but I get paid by the day regardless of how many hours I work. Sadly, I don't get paid for any holidays, so if I only work 4 days a week, I only get paid for those days. I'm not comfy giving out my pay as I don't know if its the same across the board for everyone on this acct. I can tell you there are many days I start at 6 or 7 in the morning and am done for the day by noon or 1 o'clock.

    Hauling empty pallets?

    Seems like a pretty good deal, if the pay's there.
