Ah okay I reckon it's something all new driver have to do then? I haven't even set foot in a terminal yet lol. But should be finishing my 200 driving hours with my mentor here in the next week, so that will probably warrant a home terminal visit haha!
It’s about 30 mins watching some video clips of drivers making bad decisions and going over the Smith System. You then get a “Diploma” that gets scanned and you’re done.

What did you do before becoming a truck driver?
I drove trucks in the Army for 5 years then worked as a wildlife and nuisance control technician and had been thinking about getting back into it. On dec. 31st, after watching my drill slide down a 14-12 old shingle roof that was about 4 stories up,I realized that could've been me had I shifted my position anymore than I did...I made my decision to get back behind the wheel. Here I am on my 2nd week with my mentor with Swift...his truck had 78k when he picked me up and now were about pushing 87k today. Running wide open!
