SWIFT driving academy? That's an Oxymoron! this is the same school that the D.O.T. shut down. several hundred CDL holders that went there had their CDL's revoked & had to go to another school to retrain.

@1966omc nothing suprises me about Swift Transportation. Beause of their size alone they are poorly run and their training is overpriced and you get paid very cheaply to start. On top of that they will intentionally miss expenses at the frequency of every other trip and that is shit you shouldn't have to put up with. The reality is you are not guaranteed a set pay per month and you can't realistically live off that. Anyone gettting into the biz, find companies with established lanes.

Do yourself a great service and stay away from this company! There training is a joke, all the in truck training is done in the yard and you get no on the road and highway training while you are in school and when you are done with the academy and get back to your home state they will assign you a trainer that is a rookie with a year or less of OTR experience and you will probably have a hard time finding a decent company that will hire you when they find out you were trained by them

@truckersteven09 if you do have your CDL, don't be afraid to try out different parts of the industry: Hauling gas cylinders, hauling gasoline and expand if trucking is what you want for a career. More importantly find the lifestyle that fits you. If you want to be home more often, then stay local. Good luck.

@truckersteven09 Swift will miss expenses on every other check when you are not looking.  That is how disorganized it has become. Having to backtrack 3 months to be reimbursed for major expenses such as lodging was nothing but gross misconduct on the part of Swift. I was doing loads into Canada for them and not getting and flat pay so in effect that .40 cpm I was making was shit. I was doing Volvo Driveaway for them out of Dublin, VA back in 2004. They never got that right.
