As you all know or may know I started Swift Academy on February 15, 2016 I passed my Test on March 2, 2017. I started my Mentorship March 11, 2016 & I finished it April 11, 2016. It was 200 LOOOONG hours but I got through it. Today April 12, 2016 I took my upgrade test & passed it! I'm Officially a rookie driver! Well once I get a truck that is. They are currently looking for me a truck & may have to bus me somewhere to get one. I'm excited & thrilled! Ready for the challenges of Trucking! Also ready to get home for a few days. I've been away from home for like 8 weeks now, ready to see my GF & son. Thanks for all the help from this site & special thanks to guys like Errol, G-Town, & Old School who have been very helpful and informative. Also thanks to Brett for the learning tools on this site that helped me attain my permit. Now I have to use the study material for my Endorsements. Overall I have NO complaints about Swift & would recommend them to anyone looking to enter this industry & has no money to pay for the school out of pocket.
Congrats!! How is the miles btw?
Congrats man, seems like yesterday you were talkin about that long dreaded bus ride to utah.lol
