By far this is one of the better videos for new truckers that I have seen. So thank you for the information that I actually do need. It is very helpful.
Thanks for your video. I'm thinking to be a mentor in Swift. But now; because I saw your video, I felt encouraged by you. Thanks and blessings ⚘️🇲🇽🚛🇱🇷🤗🤗🤗👌🏼😊
Get em Vilma. Thank you so much, almost there, will get to phoenix academy once I do my taxes and get the rest of my necessities and stuff to get ready for training. Swift team, coming for you. Chee
bueno ver a una hermana por ahí conduciendo los camiones grandes. Comienzo mi orientación mañana en Albuquerque, espero verte por ahí en alguna parte. Paz!
trying to sleep while he was driving was horrible. head was moving back and forth non stop. i will never do team driving ever!. he was a good mentor tho.
Your videos are absolutely amazing. I'm going to start my Swift OTR tomorrow and I have watched nearly all of your videos and I feel like because of you I am very well prepared to move forward with this journey. Please keep making your videos Because I promise you they are helping all of us a great deal. One more point I would like to make is that once you have gotten your personal OTR experience? You should become a mentor trainer yourself. I think you would do absolutely fantastic and I think you would be able to properly instruct countless other new drivers on the proper ways of being a trucker. You are absolutely amazing and I wish I could get a mentor just like you
Question: after the processor that calls you before orientations says she has gotten in touch with all your employers over the last 3 years and closed your case, do they ask for anything else for employment verification at orientation? I don’t want to take my W2 or paystubs from my former employers unless that is absolutely necessary.
@@vilmacisneros4815 I know but brand new swift I think was the best option. I got 3 orientations upcoming at this point I’m just trying to get on the road
Thanks for the pointers. I thought when you have a mentor/trainer of the opposite sex that they put you in some type of hotel everyday. Guess I was wrong.
Me puedes hablar un poco como es el asunto de higiene cuando una es mujer. Y a veces cuando uno está en periodo y el trabajo está bussy. Si puedes hacer un video para nosotras las mujeres
After you finished school, did they send you home before you went out with your mentor? And how much down time was there that you had to wait for the mentor? If you did go home, did you need to find a ride to the local terminal and they just told you time and date to be there? Or how did that all work?
I got my license a a private school not with swift but the down time depends on you if you prefer a female or male mentor, smoker or none smoker after my orientation it and drug tests it took like 5 days to pair me up with someone
O sea si te puedes bañar pero si te tienes que organisar bien para no tomar tanto tiempo. Sobretodo cuado the vas con un mentor tienes que planiar bien la ruta para bañarte y estar lista para cuano les toque partir
Gracias por tu información cuanto puedes ganar después del entrenamiento te pregunto porque para saber por gastos q tengo telo agradecería ya tengo un año con la CDL y no me ánimo porque no se si pueda con los gastos
Bueno despues de entrenamiento tienes garantisado por 6 meses $1000.00antes de impuestos semanales pero puedes ganar mas que eso dependiendo cuantas millas metes a la semana es muy bien pagado y lo mas importante es que te enseñan bien so si luego te quieres ir a una commpania que paga mejor ya yevas la practica
@@vilmacisneros4815 disculpe Vilma quiero entrar a esta compañía pero mi ingles no es bueno será eso un problema ? Y como puedo informarme en la academia si no entiendo bien el inglés ?
@@jesusalvarez4248 hay personal que abla español solo yena la applicasion en linea el idion no es pronlema es un reto al inicio pero luego ya te acostumbras
Based on their pay probably yes, but in terms of teaching and mentoring adequately I don’t think so. Driving trucks is a very challenging profession at first, and from my own personal experience some mentors aren’t that greatest, and don’t have the patience, and the skills, that a new truck driver needs. But it’s only my opinion & i think mentors should get paid better and perhaps get some courses on how to teach new driver even better..
When i was with my mentor yes but now that am solo i have figured somethings that have helped me as a female. Can’t go out and about just like that, especially night time.
Yes i didn’t want to wait for a female mentor so i got guys as my mentor and it was weird and sometimes I couldn’t sleep 😴 lol but they were respectful and i bought cover everything PJs 😄
By far this is one of the better videos for new truckers that I have seen. So thank you for the information that I actually do need. It is very helpful.
Great video. Glad to see real experience and real word issues and dealing with those issues into worry about. The I you.
Thank you so so much for this information & your time!

Technically you supposed to stay on the clock but doing that just give you more time back at the end of the week
Just the essentials
I have orientation tomorrow. At the Lathrop, CA facility.
Thank you for your advice I just passed my CDL permit. I was thinking about joining swift. I would like to keep in touch with you if that’s ok

Don't cause any delays
Work with what you have
Swift didn’t work out but I’m going start wherever I can go. I wanted swift cause it’s close to where I live
There’s a lot of good companies out there
Keep searching you’ll find the right one
@@vilmacisneros4815 I know but brand new swift I think was the best option. I got 3 orientations upcoming at this point I’m just trying to get on the road
Just got on with Western
Which swift terminal?
Thanks for the pointers. I thought when you have a mentor/trainer of the opposite sex that they put you in some type of hotel everyday. Guess I was wrong.
V.i. and static testing is included
Whatever your going to bring, keep it minimal.
If your mentor did not perform a P.T.I.
you should perform a P.T.I. before any trip, so you know that the vehicle is Pre Trip Inspected.
Sounds like he was so concerned about the company like he owns that place 🤯
Hello
I am going to swift academy too
This Sunday, and it is my first time ,
Good luck 👍 this is one of the biggest companies out there
@@vilmacisneros4815
Ok thanks
I know little bit about it
And also make the TH-cam video well with good instructions and information
@@sayedlakanwal2512 I was thinking the same thing
My Orientation is this Tuesday 6-12-24...i hope i don't get a jurk as a mentor lol
did you train on a manual or manual transmission
Love to see a Latina out there getting it done ✔️ 💪
Don't forget the toiletries

Don't bring a lot of stuff, if it's a duffle bag an some clothes do need.
I stay the whole time in training without going home ??
Hi, Does swift allow you to work for them as a new graduate with ur current CDL license outside of they're program? Safe travels!
Yes
Yo tengo orientación esta semana… me preocupa lo de no bañarse todos los días 🫤.
O sea si te puedes bañar pero si te tienes que organisar bien para no tomar tanto tiempo. Sobretodo cuado the vas con un mentor tienes que planiar bien la ruta para bañarte y estar lista para cuano les toque partir

No dont don’t
OK . Thank you!! @@vilmacisneros4815
ok. Thank you!@@vilmacisneros4815
Thank you. Will start Monday!
I would hate to be your mentor. He sounds like a saint. You have way to high expectations.

Vehicle that your operating is 60 to 80 ft. long.
Your pulling a 53 ft. van
Every time you need to use a bathroom you guys stop?
When i was with my mentor yes but now that am solo i have figured somethings that have helped me as a female. Can’t go out and about just like that, especially night time.
your mentor was a guy? you could not havea girl mentor? was it weird basically living and sleeping everynight in close quaters with a stranger dude?
Yes i didn’t want to wait for a female mentor so i got guys as my mentor and it was weird and sometimes I couldn’t sleep 😴 lol but they were respectful and i bought cover everything PJs 😄
Te pagan por l entrenamiento
Yeah
Your hair is not that long and not in your face .
Muy buena informasion tengo una pregunta el tramadol es prohibido en swift pregunto porque yo lo tomo por una enfermedad de la espalda
