Profile For Jason W.

I really appreciate all that advice . I've learned not to listen to all the things people say. One thing I'm worried about is weather or not I'll be able to absorb all the info they will feed me. I know swift will take good care of me at their school. I'll just go in and try my best.

I'll be attending a school just outside Atlanta . I'm hoping to meet some awesome class mates so we can help each other through the schooling.

Well ladies and gents. I have been accepted to Swifts Driving academy. I will be leaving for school July 28th. I'm super excited but also a little nervous.

If any of yall can give me some good advice it would be greatly appreciated, I'm going into this with no experience but a very open mind. Please give me advice like what I should take with and tips to get me through the schooling. This career in trucking is literally life breaking change for me and my wife so it's super important for me to make it through. Thank you so much.

I already have my cdl but i applied to attends swifts school and to work for them and got a call from recruiter. She said they would review my app and get back to me with next steps. Anyone know how long that takes. I guess they have to run my dmv report and verify employment? I have no issues on my app that would prevent me from getting a job in trucking. I sent the app in yesterday around noon and getting nervous bc i havent heard back. I also applied with driver solutions to attend their refresher course. Maybe i just need to be patient?

They processed mine over the phone. But you definitely have to bug them. My recruiter s name was veronica . She set me up and I leave for school the 28th of this month.

WHAT KIND OF BUS COMPANY DOES SWIFT USE TO TRANSPORT YOU TO MEMPHIS TENNESSEE SCHOOL. IS IT A GREY HOUND?

But have yet to here anything from them.

Are you waiting for them to roll out the red carpet ? Be proactive! Call Knight and check on the status of your application.

I already have I'm not a idiot. I have called I get put on hold for a recruiter and then it hangs up on me. I've tried multiple time and get the same results

So I have put a app in at knight transportation for the squire cdl training program. But have yet to here anything from them. Does anybody know if any other companies pay you weekly from the first week in school like knight does? I'm kinda at a road block right now and trying to lay out my options because I will no longer be able to go to roadmasters as planned.

The bank will have to call the number on the check and get the auth number. It makes it more secure for them. I had an issue with my bank when I did it .myself. they had to call the support center to confirm which took extra time.

Thanks everyone.

I was wondering how swift pays their drivers . I've heard it is put on a card. Do they give you the option of direct deposit to your bank account or no.

Yes.. when you get hired you will receive a ComData card. That is used for fueling and for your check. You can set up direct deposit as well. First two or three weeks will be on card. You can also get comchecks from your DM or any truck stop and use those for pulling cash off your card and deposit in your bank account. Trainer should explain, may also ask them.

Ok thank because my wife was wondering how she would have access to pay bills.

do they have it to where I pay for tuition or do they take out of my check?

You pay for the tuition for them by working with them a certain amount of time. It does not get takin out of your check. If you quit working for them before the grace period is met in full you will be responsible for paying it back.

As far as i know you dont really need a down payment.. watch out though a lot of these schools interest rates are just as high if not higher then credit cards. if your wife has good credit get her to co-sign and that should drop your rate. look at school loans to. those rates are lower and you could qualify for those. Im not a financial master by any means but this is my opinion.

Thank you I'm going to try her consigning with me first . If not then I'll look into school loans thanks buddy.

I'm hopefully starting school at roadmasters doing weekend classes July 19th . I was wondering if when your Financing your schooling through roadmaster. DO they require a down payment . One other thing how hard is it to get approved through their financing program , I have not developed credit yet but my wife has over a 700 beacon. Please feel free to share your knowledge.
