My first truck

Thanks everyone man I’m happy and excited PackRat man I think you’re one of my biggest supporters I really appreciate you for that

I passed my tests everyone

So instead of upgrading tomorrow my trainer got so much confidence in me that I’m upgrading today

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!!

I appreciate it everyone

Heading back to the terminal in Greer so I can upgrade Friday man this has been nerve racking cannot wait to go solo I’ve had some great trainers. Time has went by fast I left last Thursday and upgrading Friday everything has gotten better for me.

Everything is good she’s like a mama bear lol

How's it going after a few days with your new mentor, Ryan?

I’m finally getting a chance to drive one of these

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.
