SwiftTrans And Knight Transportation To Merge

In case I missed it.

The bonus is .01c per mile during the transition period. Approx 3-4 months.

Just had a horrible thought.. With the companies merging.... Will we be driving pink trucks soon?

It's not pink, it's light red!

Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate the answers I've gotten. It does help to clarify things in for the future.

As for the Swift trainee I had mentioned, her trainer left her at a truck stop I was in, while all her stuff was in his truck. She couldn't get in touch with him because he had her cell phone and all that. It was late so I didn't stay in the truck stop to find out what happened with her, but I should probably more chalk that up to a bad trainer like what you hear horror stories about than it being a Swift thing.

At the moment, I'm going back to Celadon to get more experience under my belt. While I've been on the forum for a year, I've actually only driven for about 3 months, 4 if you count me going out with a trainer. I had to come home for an emergency and my DM terminated me because I couldn't come back. Turns out she was very much in the wrong for doing that as I'm listed as rehireable with the company but that's one of the many things that was wrong with that woman. I had planned on talking to Knight at a later date because they had a terminal in my home state within an hour from my house so I would have secure parking. However, I still have more research to do so I'm far from making any sort of decision aside from going back to Celadon. I just wanted to see what this merger was going to change, if it was going to change anything. So again, thanks for the help and the info guys!!

This happens, and not for the reason you might think. It could have been a complete accident, trainer didn't realize she wasn't in the truck. Very possible, especially if he was an inexperienced mentor/trainer. Not really sure...

When I was training we had a simple rule; when in the sleeper berth , shoes were placed on the floor in front of the passenger seat. Even so I was already to go one night after fueling up and almost left without my mentor...all new to me at the time.

Communication.

Otherwise her mentor would have to be a total jacka** for purposefully doing that to her. This is why a trainee must have emergency contact numbers for their company. Truck stops have land-lines that I am sure they would have allowed her to use.

Good luck to you Chelsea.
