Swift is a good company

My time out really depends on my needs. I have stayed out as little as 2 weeks to as long as 5 weeks. Sometimes I get back a couple of days early so I will do a couple of short runs (200 - 300 miles).

 

Thanks for the info

 

I'm talking to a recruiter from Swift at the Millington, Tenn. acadamy about training at their facility. Can anyone tell me anything about this place?

 

well for anybody going in now its been changed from 6 wks to 240 hours which will average out to 4 weeks roughly as long as your a decent driver

 

Check out threads by oldnewbiegonnabe. I believe he went through that facility recently and should be able to answer questions.

 

Dude why do you think you have to down Swift? Oh I see you must have tried to screw them over then you got caught. It is not Swift as a company it was you! I drive for them after 10 years and he is not making that up. Swift has not done me wrong but i have had some people afilliated with them try but I do not take any crap from anybody especially drivers like you so when you grow up and learn to be a professional or a grown adult then try another company and see if you can screw them.

 

Just stay open minded and most important of all Listen and learnwhat they are teaching you. If you try toknow it all you will not make it

 

do you have a family and do you smoke?

 

I went to the Millington Acadamy two years ago. I drove for Swift for a little over a year. 9 months as a company driver and 4 months as a owner operater. (if you can call it that.) My advice is this, go to the school, drive for them at least one year keep a positive attitude DO NOT LEASE PURCHASE A TRUCK, the price is so rediculous I literally had to drive my but off just to make the fuel, insurance and truck payments EVERY WEEK. Being a company driver I had GREAT insurance and had a lot of fun making good money (after a couple raises.) I mean you don't start off high pay cause you gotta learn first. I am actually thinking I might try to go back as a company driver.

 

I do agree with this statement 150% Come on back they probibly will re-hire you
