It won't go away because it is perfectly true. Mind you Swift isn't doing anything different from the rest of the training companies, and I am not accusing them of such. But, it's right on their website. You can become a trainer after 6 months OTR experience (as I said, this is true in most of the big training companies.) That is scary when you get right down to it. We live in a world of rookies training rookies. No good can come from that. And yes, Swift is as guilty as anyone in this department.
Some people are so gullible and buy into the hearsay propaganda that they hear so much that apparently not only do they become delusional but also hallucinatory as well. It is something I?ve noticed quite often since I started visiting this website, especially when it comes to demonizing Swift.
Mentor Programs
After you?ve been a Swift driver for at least a year, you?ll have the opportunity to teach other drivers the ins and outs of professional driving. When you do, you?ll be able to earn extra income for taking on this important role.

Indeed, when I was with Swift, not only did you have to have a minimum of one year of experience FIRST before you could qualify for the Mentor Program, but you also couldn?t have any preventable accidents or service failures for the prior six months.
New employees who have more than one year of experience when they hire on with Swift may qualify for the Mentor Program after six months if they successfully complete six months of employment with Swift without any preventable accidents or service failures.
Hmm?where did you say again you saw on the Swift site that you only had to have six months of experience to qualify for the Swift Mentor Program?
