My recruiter told me that it will be $35 a month for my husband to ride.

IF we end up at Wel, I will def. look for you!!

Don't stop this thread!!!! I enjoy reading your journey. I will follow David's journey once he put his up here as well. You have a lot of good information! I look forward to seeing what my experience may be and you're giving us newbies a good idea of it. Thank you! Me and my husband will be starting with Swift Jan 5th! Wish us Luck!

You headed to Millington, TN? I should be there, too. Trying to return a call to the recruiter but the phones are down in Dallas!

Dont't Give up!!!

Cheryl, I'll send you a PM, I don;t wanna thread jack this thread...

OK thank you! Sorry Francisco

Have anyone here attend the training in Conyers, Ga? or have any info on it. I spoke to the recruiter and he stated that it was new location. I would have to spend the week there to study/receive my permit then go to Salt Lake City for 2 wks. That is one option he gave me. The other option is to get my permit before I leave and spend 3 weeks in Salt Lake City. Thanks in advance for any info!

Hello thanks for viewing my thread, this is my adventure, and I will update it as often as I can, I hope I can give clarity to other's here who are looking to get a start into trucking from knowing nothing, to everything.

About myself. I'm young, 22 years old, I have no trucking experience with Semi/Tractor Trailer driving.

I've done alot of retail and Fast food work, and I finally said to hell with that, I want something different, something less degrading.

I've never been out of my current state, and I am so nervous to go to Utah, where I will be attending a school for CR England co. I take off in 2 days from now, (Leave is Saturday, December 6th). I am excited and nervous all at the same time, and that's just a headache but a good one.

~Thanks for viewing this thread, and look forward to updates, and pictures of my adventure into the wide open road!

Goodluck and stay focused! I will be chiming in.

Hey David I just read your bio and I saw that you started with Swift. Do you have any advice/suggestions or things to watch out for?

Thank you David! Is there any way that I could use those items without an inverter? The trucking school that I plan on going with does not allow inverters to be installed (bummer!) and me and my Husband really need to find ways to cook because we are not going to be eating at the fast food places. Thank you again for the info!

The road master brand has many 12v options like a crock pot, skillet, hot pot, etc. you can check out products on Amazon or Google the 12 volt store to avoid seeing non 12 volt products. I hope that helps. :)

Thank you Larry! I have looked at some of those 12volt items but not on Amazon...I was trying to see if there was another option to be able to use my nutribullet and nuwave besides having a inverter..

Unfortunately without an inverter with at least 900W you cant run the nutri-bullet, NOW there is another option, may sound foolish but you can always pack what you wanna juice and when you goto shower, just plug it in there, most showers have a power outlet...thats bought the only option.

The RoadPro products will atleast let you cook and have hot water.

What company are you going with?

YES! That is a good idea! Not foolish at all causeI really want to be able to take that! I can use the 12volt items for cooking but the bullet is a must! Me and my Husband have been speaking with the Swift recruiter and plan on going Jan 5th.
