So it’s been another week. I have officially drove in every type of weather except a tornado. We got stuck in Columbus few days ago because of the snow. Not really sure what to post to be honest. I have been to Ohio, PA, NY, MO, KS, LA, on the way to TX now and then to NJ. I learned how to slide my tandems correctly jus by knowing the weight in my trailer. I still scale if I can before I leave the shipper and I have been on point every time. My backing skills have improved a lot with help from my mentor. I have actually learned a lot from this guy. I can honestly say everything that my swift recruiter told me has been truth so far.
Only thing I can say negative really is that teaming sucks lol. Mainly because I use to travel a lot before I decided to get into to trucking. With teaming I can’t explore as the truck is always moving for the most part. I mean I did explore a little of Columbus Ohio when we was stuck there because of the snow but it was Monday and there wasn’t anything going on. Really jus ready to get my 200 hours with the mentor over so I can have more freedom to explore.
Again for anyone following this or jus want some information on swift feel free to ask. I will give honest answers. -

I denied all the benefits except the short term and long term disability as I am retired military and already have all the health care stuff. When I get time I will post the benefit pages on here

Haven’t posted in a while so jus a quick update before I go to sleep.
I am finished with mentor and I passed swift road and written test. I am now on my own truck which I have been for over a week now. No complaints yet. They keep me moving which is good as I make money when I move. My driver leader is pretty cool guy. Haven’t met him yet but I will when I get back to California here shortly. The let me choose between auto or manual. I chose auto simply cause there was no manual available near the terminal I was at and I was ready to drive and make money. Auto do have its perks I must admit. It’s no forced dispatched as I have refuse a few loads to get better ones. Any questions let me know -
