Looks Like I'm Gonna Be A Swiftie!

After talking to a recruiter today I made my decision to go with Swift. I never really even considered this company. I still have some things to take care of here at home before I can leave, but am looking to be headed to Memphis for CDL school in May. Errol, I have a few questions for you when ever you read this.

I'm pretty excited about this phase of my life.

Congrats, I went through the Swift Phoenix Academy last April. Excellent Instructors. It was very fast paced. Passed my PT, Skills and Driving Exam on the first shot. I was also very fortunate to have a great Mentor. It gave me a great start in the Industry. I just recently landed a local, Home Daily, 5 on 2 off job. Good luck to you!

There's a Burger King right across the street from the school. Anything else?

Congratulations Bolt. Welcome to Swift.

Thanks guys I'm really looking forward to this. I was wondering about tractor amenities. Like refrigerators, microwaves and things like that. Do the trucks have them installed or will I be able to install these things?

Some of the condo sleepers were installed with small refrigerators. But haven't seen that since 2014. Nothing else though.

Welcome to swift. I've been with them almost 6 months now. I do regional now. I was told u can't have microwaves in company trucks but Im not 100% on that. Others might give a more definitive response. I have a small 12v cooler that I use. The newer trucks should have a 110 v outlets installed behind the passenger seat.

You can get a 40qt (huge size) 12v cooler at Walmart for about $100.

Here's a stupid trick to heat stuff: get a small box (that could hold a football). Turn on the bunk heater, set to way hot 90°. Put your food in the box and set the box with it's open side right right next to the heater vent. In a few minutes, bon appétit!

Errol we do something like that on construction sites. Place food in dash in windshield in the morning. By the time lunch fill a around BAM warm food.
