Swift Vs. Knight Transportation? Who To Choose!?

I just completed my orientation with Swift today and waiting for a mentor to go out for 200 hours of training. When finished with that I start at.33 cpm with raises every 3 months up to one year which will put me at 36 cpmand they give you quarterly bonus which sounds like it's easy to achieve as long as your not taking a lot of home time. Platinum is an extra .03 cpm for all miles driven. So that basically bumps you up to .39 cpm after 1 year. Talked to a driver today and he reached platinum after 4 months solo driving.

Compare that to what you know about CR. Good luck Jason in whatever path you choose! good-luck.gif

CDL paid training

If your not 100% sure on CR England check out Swift. They have a company paid training facility in Fontana. Roadmasters is another school in Fontana but it's not company sponsored so you will have to pay out of pocket for that one or get financing through the school. I just graduated from Roadmasters Oct. 30 and I have no complaints about the program they have! Good luck to you good-luck.gif

Class A license passed today!!!!

After a fast paced course at Roadmasters in Fontana,CA and my second try at the DMV I finally passed and can call myself a Class A license holder. Time to move on to the next phase and go through company training and learn how to become a professional driver out on the road!!
