Thank you, I will keep that in mind
The easiest way to remember the macros is that the 1st 6 macros are all trip related: from 1 (Arrived at Shipper) to 6 (Empty Call). Pre-trip is 32. The rest you just come across when you need em.

So starting swift as a solo driver. Came from using peoplenet, need to learn the start to end macros for QC. Orentation was absolutely useless as far as teaching how to use it. So please if anyone can help I would seriously appreciate it.im looking for the proper checklist, how to log pre trip all the way to dropping off the trailer.

Swift Orientation in Sumner, Wa - My Experience
So if anyone is curious like I was about what happens at swift orentation for experienced drivers, this is how it goes,
Day 1. Lots of sitting and waiting, this is the day that everyone has to turn in med card long form/CDL. they will take you to get a physical if you need one. They will also give you a UA. You will watch some videos and talking/work books. You will also take a road test in a manual/auto to qualify.
Day2 and 3. You will do lots of class work. Videos, work books and talking. At the end of day 3 you will be assigned a truck and meet the driver leader and team. If you require a mentor you will leave rite after class the 3rd day and will not be back until you have finished the required hours of training.
That is pretty much it for swift orentation if you are coming in from CDL school or with experience.
As far as things you might hear about swift, they are a good company. (No i am not getting paid to say this*) Very friendly. The terminal in sumner Wa has a very friendly and fun attitude. You can walk in and ask anyone anything and they will help you. Great people to be around.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
