Well I finally did it. After looking around and hee hawing about it I finally got a job with Swift. The first 2 weeks were real bad with the mentor I had, got rid of him and got a real mentor who knew how to train. Been upgraded to solo, truck I have been assigned 400,000+ so hope to get a newer one later. From things I have seen, like all companies you have your good and bad. You got to start somewere.

ogun

You did better then me.They proimsed the whole class a truck and they sent all of us home.They called me 2 months later if I was still intrested.Helllllll no.

so is this your second time dancing with swift? if so why did u have to go with mentor?

No this is my first time with SWIFT. The first mentor tried to get me fired but it didn't work, second mentor was class a. Like I said "You got to start somewere". So far its been ok.

Can you elaborate maybe a bit on how things are with mentor? I am heading for swift academy in 1 week and then to mentor 3-4 weeks from now(provided I pass tests :-). I have the attitude of just learning everything I need and not clashing with mentor. I hope that will make things easier but I don't want to have to tolerate some jackass either.

As far as mentors go the first one I had thought I was a meal ticket. The second one I had was straight up and was there for the student. It is going to be the luck of the draw. If you get a bad one go to driver services manager, if they don't do the right thing go above them. If you get a good let DS know. I tell it like I see it from both side, Good and Bad. I will say this and hope I don't offend anyone but this is a cut throat bussiness and better have a thick layer of skin.
