Hi Guys.....allot has happened since my last post about me not passing my first driving test at Swift. I finally got everything right today......after an extra 100 hours training. I start out with my own truck on Monday of next week. I also had an offer of a job with one of my mentors who is an owner op......but I've decided to stick to the rules of the club of trucking truth and stay with your first company for your first year before you make any decisions.

To be honest I think I might end up staying with Swift as I like their attitude. Especially towards training and giving you every opportunity they can give you to get you through it.....like the extra backing skills I needed with my second mentor to get me out there....and it worked.

I'm glad I stuck it out this far and I'm now looking forward to my new career in trucking. I know they say the first six months are going to be the hardest to get through......but with the right attitude and having put all the hours and miles of driving in, it would be very hard for me to turn back now.

Thanks again Brett and team for all your comments of support. It does mean allot to this rookie trucker. I will keep you all posted about any mishaps or interesting travel adventures that I think might be worth sharing.
