SWIFT & Oddfellow Trucking - Follow My Journey!
Greetings trucking world!
My name's Mitch a.k.a. the Oddfellow Trucker and I've been with Swift since August 20, 2013. I decided to start a YouTube channel the night before CDL school and since have documented weekly recaps of my four weeks in school, summaries of all three days of Swift orientation, random summations of Swift training and now regular video updates of my time over-the-road as both team and now solo. Besides my video blogs, I do a PanaComp series and A Picture is Worth 1,000 Miles series which are panorama compilations and picture slideshows summating weeks on the road at a time as well as A Route and A Rhythm which are 8X dashboard cam videos set to some of my favorite tunes with every song chosen having to do with driving, traveling or terrain. i've even recently done an Oddfellow Trucker Q&A and a Swift Pay Scale and Bonus Structure video highlighting some of the in's and out's of being a company driver for Swift. I'm still very much new to all this but I'm having a great time sharing my experiences over-the-road and shedding light on the ins and outs of rookie trucking. Check out my YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and even add me on Facebook if you're so inclined. Feel free to throw any questions my way as well...always happy to help!
Here's a link to my latest production PanaComp Ep. 4...

Just Finished 6-weeks of Swift Training!
Just completed Swift training August 24th - October 5th and am now out on the road on my first company-team run in El Paso, TX. I made a few YouTube videos about my 6-weeks on the road. Check it out if your so inclined! I have many more videos too! I even got props from Lisa Kelly of Ice Road Truckers!

**MUST WATCH**
My crazy encounter on the Oklahoma Interstate-40 on February 10, 2014...biggest truck pile-up I've ever seen in my life and longest traffic build-up I hopefully may ever see...lucky to be going in the opposite direction.
