Swift Road Test

Same thing in British Columbia. It is a 45 minute pre-trip, 45 minute drive, a back-up, and a couple and un-couple. You can only get60 points or you fail. BC is the hardest road test in North America, they are real sticklers and it's because of the fact that we are a mainly mountainous area and they want all drivers to be safe. I am guessing that's why Denver would be hard as opposed to other areas.

 

I will be going to swift in January and I to would like to know about the road test for Denver has anyone done it thanks

 

Didn't read the whole thread, but the Swift Academy trainees didn't have to road test.

 

Phx road test, after getting out of mentor truck..

1.. drive about 5 miles making all right turns.
2.. close quarters backing. Back between two trailers.

Fail one or the other, retake next day... simple.

 

That's how it went with me in Fontana, but not so many miles.

 

Not true, sort of. Have to take a solo out road test when done with mentor.

Pretrip, hook trailer, pull out, drive around town a bit, back into slot took trailer from, drop trailer.

Was real easy after driving 200+ hours with mentor.

 

Humor is great for the nerves.
Thanks for the laugh.
Taking test in 3 weeks & haven't driven in a long time.
Cheers.

 

Lol,,,,good ####.

 

The Swift upgrade road test is significantly easier than the CDL road test. Literally drive around the block, and then back it back into the space you started from.

Out of the dozen or so students I've mentored, every one of them has passed the road test on the first try.

Don't worry about it.

 

I'm stoked to give trucking a second try.
