Pros

Better than C.R. England, better pay, cares more about drivers. More terminals, management better, communication okay. Driver manager apologized for mistakes. Pays for orientation unlike England.

Cons

Mentor slept while I was driving, got upset because I couldn't make a u-turn because another truck was blocking the on ramp. Got mad and dropped me off at terminal, after threatening to throw me out in the middle of no where. Haven't gotten a new mentor in over a week.

Pros

the best thing about working for Swift Transportation is the people. They care and they love the company and the owner.

Cons

The only challenge was the CDL school TDA. it is an accelerated class, not a good fit for anyone not proficient driving a manual transmission. Also the student to instructor ratio is between 4-8 to 1. so very little one on one instruction. that being said you can get thru it as most of our class did. You must work hard and make sure you get your time behind the wheel.
