Swift vs. Werner - a couple questions about training

Injun can tie me to her catwalk! Rawr!

 

Oh sweet jebus

 

Well I dunno if I would let you Nana! I havent met ya in real life and you have a pointy stick

 

I stand corrected,thats sitting by the drivers lounge i believe.Im there all the time and never saw it sitting out there.But of course every company has accidents.For the record,they do not do the dumb and dumber anymore.

 

Good question,thats not pretty.

 

hey moose.

how was orientation? i'm due at orientation in Fontana either 3/15 or 3/22.

how was the mentoring time? and how are things going at Swift otherwise so far for you?

 

My wife and I are lease/owner team with swift. We have been with them for about 1-1/2 years. There is a high turnover rate with drivers. The reason is usually that the driver wants to go only where he/she wants and you have to take the good and the bad runs.With more than 20,000 employees they cant baby sit all the whinners and so they just let them set at the terminal and cry. They have been more then fair with us. We are out as much as we want and as good drivers they keep us rolling. Maybe I am harsh but some ppl should never be truck drivers. The ones that think they know everything and can drive a big truck like a 4 wheeler should not apply. They are the ones that get ppl killed and give us a bad name. Not all trainers are real good but they were probley trained by a dummy too. Listen, look, learn, and know that if the driver is setting then he probley isnt the one to learn from. Best of luck and know only you can make the choice of what is the best company for you.

 

Is Swift a solo or team outfit????....Tired of the team Crap...trying to sleep while bouncing down the road, having to deal with Thieves (Carl), Alcoholics (Steve), Potheads (Chris), Socially inept (Bill),Barely missing being classified as mentally retarded (George), Bullshytters (Dustin), the Inconsiderate (Derick) and Mouth Breathers (Daniel)...and yes ive had all these as co-drivers within the past 6 months...A month and a half left to go on my CRST contract....then im out...and wont touch JB Hunt or Werner

 

This a great thread thanks ! I was leaning towards Werner because it appears they have many options but maybe ill apply on one of those big websites and see who calls me
