My husband just finished his first week. Ask your recruiter about reimbursement options for driving yourself vs. taking a bus down. Bring food. They don't serve any, even if your recruiter promised you that there would be food, there isn't. Also, there isn't a lot of time for going to a Walmart. And no way to get there. If you are a veteran, download the SF 180 form to request your DD214's . Give DD214 to Swift in it's original, SEALED envelope, so don't open it when you get it in the mail. You want the DD214's so that way this school will cost you nothing if you work for Swift for 13 months. The schooling itself feels like a crash course. The good news is, if you don't flunk out (every time they test you in the class and they test you several times, you need to pass), if you don't pass your CDL drivers test, you can take the course up to 3 times (a total of 9 weeks at the school). Don't know if they charge you for 9 weeks though.

Mail some lightweight microwave foods to him. Ramen Noodles, instant coffee, mashed potatoes that come in microwave cup, soups. The hotel or school should have a free microwave oven. Once he hits the road, microwave use is free at truckstops.
We, experienced drivers, usually tell students to take this stuff in a duffle bag if we know beforehand they're short on money. -
He is working for one of the top training schools out their and be taking care of especially well by swift. He just needs to keep the driver door closed and get miles then a pay check and then it’s time to eat. I hope it all works out well for ya. Soon the pay checks will be so huge that he will forget about any negative memories of the school and just rolling in the dough. 700 a week will make it all worth it

Another good money saving - good reducing technique I will share is this. Now this at first sucks pretty bad and very uncomfortable but in no time you feel great and the money just stacks up like cord of pulp wood. Ok so here it is and ya can think me later for sharing. So say he gos out on the road Monday morning right, well he is hungry as heck also. Well he needs to go buy him or fix himself a good breakfast. And it’s very important for him to eat as much as he can, I mean really stuff his belly. Why you maybe asking yourself right now? This is why, because after that breakfast on Monday he can’t eat again until lunch on Tuesday. Now just close your eyes and picture that money stacking up for that driver and his family.. ok so now it’s Tuesday at lunch and time to eat. He needs to eat as much as he can which he will at this feast because most likely he really weak and possibly faint feeling since last he ate was 30 hours ago but as the days go by all those feelings will go away and he will feel great watching the money stack up right. Ok so after that meal on Tuesday at lunch his next meal will be Wednesday at dinner. This is a special day because dinner only comes twice a week so he needs to really take his time and enjoy this meal. And now you should see the path I’m sharing here. It go’s breakfast, lunch, dinner in rotation but the following day. So his next meal after that dinner will be breakfast but not the next day, no sir.. he must not eat that day at all and wait till the next for breakfast. Ruffly will always be around 30 hours between meals. First week sucks but after that you don’t even think about it really. All you do is stack and stack the money. Now this will really help him save money big time and to save even more if he can get the Wife and children at the house to start living by these simple procedures and techniques as well.. Then I don’t think I need to say it but I will, but I’m sure you are guessing it right now.. Yep that’s it, the money is really stacking up now big time, and really fast. You know this might not work for all but I figured I would atleast share it and let some give it a try and stack that money drivers. Safe travels professional drivers
