Swift oreintation@denver

Good news. Seems like you got yourself a trainer who has his act together. Hope all goes well for you out there.

 

well it has been a while just finished my training and tested today i am being upgraded will be solo for swift on the 6th of march it was all good best wishes to all

 

Hope you'll continue to update with our experience at Swift out of Denver. My husband is getting his CDL and is leaning toward Swift because he wants the most training he can get before getting his own truck. I've read the forums here about Swift, but recent experience out of Denver, especially by a newbie, would be most appreciated.

 

Most of the shippers/receivers are jealous of truck drivers because we have such an easy job and get to travel the country, plus we make more money than they do. It's got to be a huge pride suck and grind to go to the same warehouse day in and day out, wrapping and stacking freight, can't even set your PTA out and take a random day off if you wanted to lol.

 

I am a wannabe and am narrowing things down. If it is SWIFT I would probably be out of Lathrop for now. I may be moving to LV area in the next year and would like to know how things like this work.
I heard there is a Swift yard in Las Vegas. I understand it is an ESTES yard, but SWIFT has trailers there. How does that scenario work if you are a SWIFT driver? Do you have all privledges at this yard or are these shared yards a place to drop/hook trailers or park truck overnight only? Chances of parking my personal vehicle there are what.......slim to slimmer and most likely none!?


Thanks.

Not meaning to be rude, this thread is about Denver. You may have better luck getting an answer to your questions about Las Vegas by starting a new thread titled maybe. Swift Las Vegas questions. That way someone who lives in or around Vegas might see the question due to the title and give you the low down.

 

Agreed, this is in mis-posted. I will find that other thread.

Thanks.

 

There was a driver here one time that was outta Las Vegas. Not sure what happened to him.
