I don't know if you're seeing this, but I'm thinking about doing the Swift academy. Charlotte is 100 mi away from me, and I don't know of any other training locations closer to Asheville, but I can do Uber over there because Uber is really busy in Charlotte. I think training is Monday through Friday anyway. I'm honestly waiting on a call back from my local Ingles, since their distribution center is right around the corner for me, and I can get trained with them. But Swift is my next choice.

Im about done with academy, and my recruiter told me OTR reefer was where the money was at. I don't mind being out on the road for 3-4 weeks and being home 3-4 days, but I also heard that dedicated accounts like Walmart are also really good because its consistent and you aren't stuck waiting for drive leader to set you up with loads. Any input on that? Have you done OTR? Reefer only pays 1cpm more than dry van, but is it worth the hassel of the additional time and headache?

Hey bro. TY for all the knowledge. I finished orientation for Swift at the Syracuse, NY Terminal on Thursday. Meeting up with my Mentor on Monday. I do have one question. Swift doesn't mind you using a go pro on your head and talking to it while driving? They don't consider that distracted driving? And did you ask/talk to them about the filming? Appreciate it. New Sub here. 👊👍

From what I heard the top gun program is a simulation for drivers that have a hard time with their mentors and need extra help
@DistantRelatives47
@DistantRelatives47 Жыл бұрын
I know this comment is a year old, but for anyone poking around: top gun is a training program that selects the top 1-2 % of academy students for an additional week of training which will focus on advanced backing maneuvers. During that time the student becomes a full time employee, and will be getting paid. They will sleep in the sleeper of a truck right there at the terminal and also train on a simulator. The whole point is to take the best students and then train them more on backing to greatly reduce risk of accidents while backing. This also cuts the students mentorship time in half.
