Well, the first week I was here I was put in a room by myself, but I think it’s because the hotel was so busy they could only get a king bed for me at the time. In my next video today I go into that. Thanks for watching
I only had an issue trying to go flatbed division, the training thru them was really good. If you need experience and your license id recommend swift and go dry van or reefer. You stay there for a year, your Cdl is paid for essentially, stay there for 2 they pay you back what you paid in for it
@@LobbsTrucking nice thanks for that info. I love the look of the Swift trucks. I assume they probably cover all of the u.s. and up into Canada . Once your driving on your own can you ask for trips that go to certain areas of the country or is it all assigned randomly?
i have a felony on my record its bin 7 years since then, my personal driving record is clean and i dont use drugs...will they accept me into there school?
Do you know what Swift stands for sure wish I finished training and you know why it's that way because most of you guys either fall asleep at the wheel or just don't know how to drive the route so you have to go on you guys need to get better and bring up the reputation of Swift not that it's a very good one as it is
I know the reputation is bad, but being young in the industry, I need my experience and my license. I’m not gonna let a reputation bring me down. I hold old school values and know my self worth. So far swift has been nothing but awesome in the academy, being supportive, and offering a great informative training experience.
Chad you don’t have to be an ass for no reason especially when Swift is the biggest carrier in the US , of course it’s going to have more inexperienced drivers and especially more since they help with school as well. Everyone starts somewhere and the guy is barely in school quit hating too much , Lobbs keep doing you man I wish you the best on your trucking journey!

I’m starting CDL school for swift October 9 in Memphis for the flatbed division so wish me luck lol see you out there bud
How did it go?
Proud of you bud!
Whats up dude? Im in Louisiana too waiting for them to set up my online course
There you go, you got this. Go get that license!
Any thoughts on the top gun training?
If you want to be able to learn a lot of extra points and more challenging backing maneuvers I’d say do it.
Maybe you mentioned it, but did they put you in a room by yourself at hotel or was it shared?

@gts3004 I’m not 100% sure, you could probably get on a fleet thou. OTR, dedicated, or regional
Is the training on app pulse recommended to complete to speed up process
Did they do the hair follicle test before you left or did they do it when you got to their facility for orientation?
Did a hair follicle before I even went, then did a pee test a few days after I got there
Do they provide breakfast at the hotels ?
Yes they do
Did you have to write a bunch? I ask because my handwriting is absolutely horrible and it takes a long time.. thanks.
Only writing was wrong the answers to questions in the textbook
@@LobbsTrucking thank you kind sir I appreciate it very much. Happy new year
@alexhester1424 happy new year, sorry for the late reply I’m trying to be more active lol
How many Drug test did you take during training.. preciate the videos also
Take one before I even got there, then one a few days after I got there
i have a felony on my record its bin 7 years since then, my personal driving record is clean and i dont use drugs...will they accept me into there school?
I’m not 100% sure but I’d say you should be fine to join
My recruiter told me 650 a week
It may have changed I’m not sure
