I am not unhappy I want to know if this is a normal thing to be sit home in the middle of CDL training for two weeks. I want to drive a year for swift you are half way through my initial goal so that's cool.. How quickly did you pick everything up? Did you go home 2 weeks into CDL training after passing everything?

You never stop learning out here! I doubt I will truly feel comfortable with the industry for at least another 18 months. Looking back I would say the most important things about training were to get your CDL , understand basic operation of truck (turning in traffic, backing, shifting), and basic understanding of pretrip inspection. In my previous post I told you they wanted me to sit for 8 days. I was proactive though and got into a slot at the academy from a drop out. It gave me one extra week of training.

Many people did go home for a few days between the permit, cdl , and mentor phases. Some longer than others. I did not, I was in the mind set to get this all done till I get my own truck.

How much were you charged for spending another week?

I have had a professional attitude and carried myself in that manor the while time.. This is why I was confused I went home.. I was sick bad though after standing outside in the 30s bc IM not used to that in Florida.. Maybe that had something to do with the planning

Find out the directors name and number at the academy also contact your recruiter. Be calm cool and collected when talking to them. Tell them you would love to get in sooner if they have any spots open. Then keep calling them every day so they know your name and know you mean business.

I dunno IM exmilitary, chain of command and all.. I was told I am going next week I will ride out the storm until I am handed something I was told would happen ya know
