Im in Springmo right now for my upgrade. if your still here look me up.

If empty, there is always the off duty driving that can be used.

I never stepped foot on the Millington site. might go there for some road training or something. Not sure. Everything is done at the main terminal now.

I dont think any of the training has to do with the cameras. I had just talked with the person who sets up the training in Memphis and they have had instructors quit (either go back to solo or left the company) so I am not sure. I could probably find out more once I get down there.

I just got the call today to head back to Memphis this coming Sunday (the 11th) to finish up. I was wondering what the hold up was but they had lost all the road instructors.

As far as your situation goes it honestly depends on what training site your going to with swift. Some of them have a 2 week and some have a 3 week. Best to double check with your recruiter on the specifics.

I will keep you updated once I get back to the grind. I just hope things come back real quick since i have not been behind the wheel in a week and a half.

Destiny, When do you plan on starting at the academy?

TN and KY require the DOT physical before the permit test. Just be sure the pysician that preforms it is on the national registry and you will be fine. Most docs that do the DOT physicals have the forms in the office as well. Hope this helps. I had my physical in TN and tested for my permit in KY. When I arrived at swift there were no issues.

Oh, BTW Tony, Doug, Kevin and Brian are awesome.

I know it has been ages since I last posted. I have started the swift training in Memphis. They are now using the holiday inn. Also a note to TT is that they no longer require the $100 sitting fee up front for class. I made it through the first 2 weeks, but the road training is now delayed. I have had no problems so far with the skills portion or pretrip.

On a side note. They are using the holiday inn. At current writing not all rooms have a microwave and/or fridge. (they are still working on it) Also no breakfast served at the hotel. Food is on your own. They do have a good cafe at the terminal and there is a BK right across the street. I have been using the dollar menu there for a main meal and snack at the hotel for breakfast and dinner. It works good. There is not much in walking distance from the hotel. There is a shell gas station and a family dollar about a half mile to the north. Not a bad walk. If you drive there is more available. I hope this helps a little bit more.

I was sent home for a week, they were short road trainers. I should start back up again soon. Until then roadies...
