On Line Classes With Swift
Topic 495 | Page 1
STUDY STUDY STUDY,,,,and any questions you have, feel free to ask. We have some Swift drivers on here, so you are in the right company !!! and....WELCOME !!!!
Welcome aboard!
First of all, make sure you go through our Trucker's Career Guide. That will give you a ton of critical information and will be a huge help in getting your career off to a great start.
Also, you should take a "real" training program like our High Road Training Program. I've spoken with several people who have gone through Swift's program and it pales in comparison to ours. I know you'll have to complete their program in order to get started with them, but you're not going to learn nearly as much from their program as you will from ours. And ours is free by the way. So definitely have a look.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

Yeah, I just completed Swift's online training program as a prerequisite in their hiring process. It' a bit mixed up really..they ask you questions and the exam and then give you the video class that teaches you about the stuff on the exam. Bit ass backwards.. If I had not already gone through the High Road training series, I would have had serious trouble with it..so definitely do the training program here FIRST..then you will be read for ANYTHING that get's thrown your way..

Roadkill,
I thought I was crazy.
I have been going through the Swift Online Training over the past week and found the same thing, testing before training. Kinda messed up. Especially for me, I have never driven, but I limped through it for the most part.

I stated the online classes with Swift this week. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself. I have been working on becoming a drive for a long time and now its right around the bend. Any advice you can pass my way will be great.
