To go or not to go

Swift has people quit every day. I concur with the thought of getting your mentor training done, see if the job is still available and then take it if you get it. Just let Swift know you got an offer too good to turn down. If you leave on good terms, they will hire you back if you ever want to come back to them. That gig sounds like a great deal. I'd be all over it.

 

based on my experience with swift, which is limited to contact with my recruiter, swift seems very good. heading to their millington academy on the 4th. nervous after my experience with cre, but they seem to be a great company.

 

Son will be in origination day 3 tomorrow , still hasn't taken the driving test.

 

In my opinion it sounds fishy, i would stay with swift for the year and finish it out, experience and loyalty pay
Off in the long run, if something were to happen, short periods of employment with numerous
Companys will throw you into the Dont hire pile, swift may be a drive / cdl mill but they are a
Huge name that every one knows and that pays off when you start looking again

 

Did your son go to a Swift School?

 

No he didn't, started out with a power company hauling backhoe's and 50' poles. Then went otr for a local company hauling hot oil and dirt for the highway system . Talked to him yesterday and he's thinking about going to swift's flatbed school in Indiana

 

I use to be a trainer and I do know in the company I worked for we did have some horrible trainers [mentors]! Some will mile mule your butt while others will actually train you and work with you on the ins and outs. Remember to check your rig, lights, oil, etc. Be sure you get enough sleep and always drive safely. Also if you do have a bonehead of a trainer then DON"T be afraid to call the headquarters and ask for a different one. If the headquarters wants to know why, let them know what type of trainer s/he is. Then be honest on the final eval on that trainer, if they give you one.

Be safe out their.

 

Good and best of luck to you
