Thanks Errol imma read it
Congratulations, Ryan! You'll be through with your training soon enough. Be forewarned, your first solo week or so can be crazy also. Take some time and search here for terms like "my first week" with "solo" or "OTR" in the query.
Just a few weeks ago a new rookie driver listed several "problems" he had in those rookie weeks. In my first outing, I listed 11 "issues" that soon disappeared as I gained OTR experience. (Read My First Week Adventure As A Swift Driver almost 5 ago now.) I'm not saying these are "horror stories", but to let you and other first timers know you'll run into "big things" that are not all that big once you've gotten a few thousand miles in. Enjoy your new career!!

It’s huge it’s big man heaven 😆😆😆 I like it better then the freightliner.
That's good. They hooked you up with another mentor without having to wait. Ive never been in a Kenworth. How do you like it?
Thanks
Congrats...and welcome to the Swift Team. When I was in training I had the same mentor but we went from a volvo to a kenworth and maybe it's me but the kenworth feels like it has more pulling power through the mountains (or I could just have a biased opinion since our volvo kept breaking down). Anyway congrats again and be safe out there.
