I've been thinking bout joining the trucking industry with Swift transport, but I'm not sure if my driving record will disqualify me, recently I've had a speeding ticket 65 on 55 and any other incident I've had was back in 2012 a misdemeanor hit n run but I didn't hit another vehicle. Y'all think Swift will train me ?
Would Swift trans accept me with my driving record?

Such a great question, it was asked twice! Well, in my honest to god opinion. I hope this helps.

Tell us your story about the hit n run
Pure.Genius Thanks this. -
All I did was hit a fence, left the scene to look for help to move my car, came back police beat me and was given a citation for a hit n run went to court was fine $250 and two year probation, wasn't allowed to get any tickets or 6 months in jail
Pure.Genius Thanks this. -
I think you should be ok. The hit n run is older than 3 years and the speeding ticket is under 15. But the recruiter will give you the right answer
Pure.Genius and brandon3 Thank this. -
Wait! The police "beat" you for hitting a fence? The f kind of state were you in?
Or
The police "beat me to the scene of the crime". Because it was just a fence. Who's going to know.Pure.Genius and lots of character Thank this. -
