Swift out of Syracuse, NY

Im not out of Syracuse but i can help you a little bit. Syracuse is a smaller terminal so things may be delayed. As far aq orientation is I don't know. The other answer to your questions are pretty much when one is available. As far as getting a truck it is a smaller trmnl so you may have trouble getting a truck as quickly as you may need one.

 

swifty is real slow right now like everyone. they arent in any hurry to hire rookies so just tough it out you will get there

 

Don't rely on what recuiters tell you at swift. Timeframes for getting things done varies. As far as mentor is concerned it could go a few ways. When you get out of orientation if they give you a road test after you may get your own truck if you have prior experience. The other way is you may take a road test after orientation and the road tester that gave it to you may only think you need a couple weeks. Or you may have to go out for the full 6. As far as getting a mentor it depends on whats available. Also keep in mind it could go beyond 6 weeks as you will have a final test after your mentorship so try to learn as much as you can. When it comes to getting your own truck you may get one right when you solo out or you may have to wait.

 

it took me 2 weeks after being w/mentor 6wks to get my truck. but the qualcomm and all the macros is what u need to pay attention to while u r with ur mentor. i am with swift and been solo for 4 wks now. still learning stuff. but they r pretty good about keeping u going just one word of advice dont turn down loads unless u know u cant make it on time. they are trying to weed out lazy and incompitent drivers cause they are reducing their company trucks. like everyone else they want lease purchase drivers.
