Swift Decision Driving Class

Hey folks can nyone that drives for Swift tell me what the swift decision driving class is? I've gotten 2 messages on the QC I've been assigned to it. Gotta do it by 4/6 at a terminal.

It’s about 30 mins watching some video clips of drivers making bad decisions and going over the Smith System. You then get a “Diploma” that gets scanned and you’re done.

Ah okay I reckon it's something all new driver have to do then? I haven't even set foot in a terminal yet lol. But should be finishing my 200 driving hours with my mentor here in the next week, so that will probably warrant a home terminal visit haha!

I drove for swift briefly but I didnt have to take that course. I understand that your still in training, correct? Did you perhaps get a drive cam incident that is why they want you to take that class? Sorry for assuming if that's not the case but as a new driver I never had to do that course.

That could very well be the case. In raining Atlanta traffic I had a car that changed lanes right in front of me causing me to get the distance warning. I immediately began slowing down to have that following distance increased but with it raining I didnt want to hard brake. I did get a following distance event from that...and I think it was the next day that that message came across...it shows as resolved after review and when I emailed about it I've never gotten a response back.

Will, what you just described is a likely scenario that will occur on a frequent basis. Especially in the rain within the limits of any urban center.

Think about how you will handle it in the future. They will probably ask you that.

Safe travels.

Thanks! Will do!
