SWIFT Transportation

i was wondering if u hire new drivers that have a felony over 5 years old i am having trouble finding work and have heard lots of good things about swift

 

I am not absolutely sure, but I believe they do not have automatic transmissions. IF you are planning on attending school you will learn the manual transmission they use in their trucks. I do not know about the driving test portion but I am sure someone else will answer your question.

 

There are a few automatics in the fleet, very few. If you go to Swift School in San Antonio you will be trained on standard only. When you test out in Lancaster, again, standard only. So if I were you, I would try to get proficient at shifting gears if you want to work for Swift. Sorry I can't answer your 4th question. Good luck!

 

It really is no big deal. In my class nearly 6 years ago there was a guy a little older than you who had never used a standard. It took some time and practise but he made it through and passed his CDL road test the first time out. We trained in 8 speed trannys. When he got his mentor after orientation his first question was "How many gears in your truck?" The mentor told him "18" (he drove a W-9), my friend nearly fainted! He drove for Swift for about 3 years before getting a local job.

 

call joey at swift 864-879-2101 he will hook you up with a job

 

Logbook is easy just pay attention to not make a mistake. Most likely if you go with Swift now u will be on Elogs...
