Congratulations Bryan!

The real fun gets started now. It's not always easy getting this career off to a good start, but there are plenty of people in here who will be willing to help you out when you hit a snag or just get discouraged. Hang in there, and expect to have a few curve balls come whizzing in at you. It takes some time to get the hang of this, so enjoy the ride and know that it will get better as you get further along.
That's awesome. Congratulations Bryan!
Here a couple of blog links that might help shed light on what you are about to go through...one of them was directed at a Swift trainee, so highly relevant for you.
Good luck Bryan! Let us know if you have any questions.

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.
