    I agree, not sure what use a permit is without that restriction being removed?? Can you be a student at a school with a permit that has an air brake restriction? I honestly have no idea.

    Edited:: Every school I know about will NOT move you from the classroom to the range without passing the General, Air Brake, and combo vehicle tests. Or my information is really old now.

    Maybe you should question your choice of Swift after reading the attached link below

    Swift is a ok place to start.. gotta get the feet in the door. Beside long as she takes her time keeps her record clean every door imaginable will be open in a 8 mos to a year...plus it’ll provide that seasoning that a driver needs

    Hey! That's your opinion! I started with Swift over a year ago now. Still with them. They've been good to me. You get out what you put in!
    Until I get 2 years, my options are limited anyway. I think Swift has been better for me than the other megas that hire newbies would have been. Unless things change, even after I get 2 years, I'll probably stick with them.
     
    Badmon and OldeSkool Thank this.
