    Not a Truck study just a favorite

    Every trainee should have a study guide. I had some trainees that procrastinated, claimed they didn't have it, but it is there. It's buried in the ream of paperwork they give you.

    The written test is common sense, except for the idiocy of the trick questions.

    I still have my Swift Bible. I don't know why. I've excommunicated myself.

    If you're able to log on to a computer and post a message, you can pass the Swift test.

    True.

    That being said I had two trainees fail the written test. One was really smart and over thought the answers, then was reasigned to me for an additional 50 hours training.

    The other was dumber than a post.

    I thought wrecking his truck was part of the test.
