Well you have been dead set about hiring on with Swift since day 1 it seems, so why don't you suck it up and go back. 2 or 3 weeks is not enough time to learn the true ins and outs of any company and to see if it melds with your needs at this point.

stick with swift company jumping after only a couple of weeks does not look good to potential employers

Training is going to take forever no matter where you go. And if you jump ship and move to another company, you'll have to start all over again from square one. Just stay with Swift, get your 6 months or year and move freely if that's what you want.

I agree with all the others, stick with swift. BTW, you may think you know all you need to but even the 6 weeks they train you aren't enough. Once on your own, then the REAL learning begins. You'll be thankful you had that 6 weeks to get the bare minimum basics

I would stay with Swift. #1. It looks good on your record.
#2. no guarentee the next Co. will be better
#3. Like Beshock says, the real training starts after the training.
The best to you,

Stuff happens on the road. The trainer made a mistake, hope you learned from the EXPERIENCE.
Call the dispatcher/company twice a day and get back driving.

I must agree with the others about staying with Swift. You said that you had a good trainer, but he made a mistake. Swift is getting you another trainer and you are already half way through your training period. It seems to me as though you should stick with them, get your training and get a truck. The idea is to get your training and learn this business. There is still much to learn. 8)

T*Storm, why would you finish out the training with another trainer if you plan on quitting as soon as the 6 weeks is up? If you leave Swift after 6 weeks of training or 2 weeks of training you will still be starting from square one at the next company.

Finish training, get a truck, drive solo, revisit after 6 months-1 year.
