I'm hoping I can get some experience so I can get out and find better jobs with ease. I've seen happy Swift drivers in the past so I hope I can be one also...
Anyone wants to share their experience about what is like in the orientation (Swift drivers preferred, but I'm sure they're pretty much the same for other companies... right?)... I knew I'm prepared for any challenge but listening to other pros here would be nice What will be done in the orientation?
Thanks for any input!
I started out with Swift too. However, they are a horrible company and they will screw you over bigtime if they get the opportunity. It's just a matter of time. Hence, drive for them for 6 months, whatever you do don't get any preventables, and then get the hell out of there ASAP. You'll be happy you did. Next, keep track of all the buddies you met while at Swift, and listen to the horror stories as they all eventually get fired, screwed over big time, or both.
