I literally just found your channel. Been binge watching your videos. I live in Phoenix AZ. Definitely going to sign up for their academy. I hear it's a good stepping stone into trucking. Thanks for putting us on game.
yes its not as bad as they say (: lol
share your journey on youtube too :)
I just got done getting through the mentor experience and discovered your channel. Man I freaking hated the experience too! Its because they use us, the fact that we are new getting into the trucking industry they use us to do team driving. I feel like I could've learned all the shit we need to know in 1 week but instead they make us do 4 weeks and use us to team drive and I was just sick of it after about the first week lol
This exactly how I feel bro I feel like I learned all the fundamentals I needed in the first week
True! I just finished my mentorship and going solo but the entire time I couldn’t help but feel like it was more about making him more money then me actually learning shit lol glad to be going on my own soon.
Definitely remember the mentor phase, that shit will drive you insane.. I too hated when my mentor was awake, and alot of times when we're at the truck stop he stayed in the truck 😤😤😤😤 give me some fucking space!!!!!!!
I feel it !😂 we went thru it bro the struggle😂
I’m going through that phase right now with my mentor and let me tell you that you are right, it’s hell 😂. Dude has a dog with him and his truck smells like wet dog and there’s dog hair everywhere. We even bumped heads a few times bc dude kept rushing me and putting a lot of pressure on me. I told him straight up, sometime you have to step your foot down and let them know, have a conversation with them about the things that bugs you, if they don’t stop get another mentor. Right now I’m dealing with a lot of BS with this guy, this my second mentor since the other mentor I had was a lazy old fart and wasn’t really teaching me shit. At least with this mentor he knows his stuff and he’s a good teacher, but he’s very arrogant and condescending at times. I’m pushing through it.
Im so late to the party but man Im so happy for you.Dang I remember this day.Nothing like that feeling of achievement after passing them test and them handing you those keys.
Funny how I found you.. ty RUclips
I’ll be out there soon, gonna keep watching your videos.
Thank you so much for watching haha!
I love that view out of the window. Congratulations!!! I start the Swift academy on Monday.
congratulations!!
Where you at now dawg?
That's one of my biggest fears once I get to go out with a Mentor is that we clash big time and/or the hygiene part. 😬 Even when I drive a Semi....I'm still going to be clean! Thank you for sharing what's it like to get into this Career path. It's important for people to see the real deal. 💯 Oh, and Congratulations!😊🙏
thank you and good luck in your trucking !😊
@@chez8239 Thank you kindly! 🙏
Lol good luck. I had a special needs. I asked for a non smoker they gave me a tobacco chewer, he’s not so messy but man spitting in the bottle be giving me a hard time. I reach out to my driver lead they said no one else is available.
Awesome video Chez I look forward to seeing you on the Highway.
Creepy stalker
My mentor at swift was a slob I couldn’t wait to finish. It sucked so bad man. I know exactly what you went through. I actually changed mentors because my first mentor was an asshole. I got off the truck and it delayed everything. It took me over 5 weeks.
I got lucky my mentor was really cool. That whole month felt like a week. Probably because my mentor was only 10 years older than me
The punishment LOL
Congratulations! I'm waiting to take my test now. I went to a school on my own. I'm thinking of going to Swift either OTR or Regional Dedicated Account. Appreciate your video. The recruiters who came to my school said you can go in the yard and pick whatever truck is available, I see that was a lie. Be Safe Out There
Hey I’m glad to hear your coming out here ! Yes that’s facts they said the same thing to me at first BUT in reality they really just assigned whatever trucks are available at the time, you might get lucky and get what you actually want👍
Hahhahahaha my mentors truck seats smelled like ass too man!!! I actually bought a Febreze bottle and would spray everything down lol
I hate international's but ain't nothing like your 1st solo load..
that bootcamp comment had me rolling 😂 can only imagine what the mentor was doing
😂😂
Doing my orientation Monday the 15th up in Gary, got my CDL back through Driveco in Indianapolis Indiana. Was a driver 16 years ago, and man this is a LOT of shit...I don’t remember having any where near this much horse shit last time I got my cdl and job lol. But all I wanna do is get back there on the road and run like hell make the money, next weekend am supposed to meet up with my mentor to head out. I’m looking up things to expect man, idgaf about team I’m a solo guy. I got the white line fever man, I’m biting at the damn bit and they want paper work...pfft damn. I’m a hard runner 3000-4000 miles a week if I can get it, good luck out there driver.
watched the 1st 30 seconds a million times lol. Cant wait to see those views.
hahah thanks !😭🙏🏽
Was told by a Swift recruiter that the starting cpm for dryvan is 41cpm w/a possibe 6cpm increase to 47cpm if you meet all of their monthly requirements for the safety bonuses. How are you starting out at 50cpm?
they told me the same thing ! and they put me in a dedicated account that started at 50cpm I think I just got lucky because they also told me they usually dont accept new students but the fact that they are in need of drivers they consider me in joining... so it all depends u might get lucky and start 50cpm as well if you try getting into a better account !
@@chez8239 Nice !!
Congratulations on the upgrade! I'm seriously thinking about my CDL & starting with swift
Yea I wanted to give up at first but my driver leaders pushed me to stay and I’m 5 months in I’m on a regional account Costco account I make .56cents a mile and I’m going to take a break next month to do local work it won’t be but 1000 a week but by June I’m gonna become a trainer bring in 6figures u got this tho good luck 👍🏽
damn what u were making 56cpm ?! thats really good they only started me with 50c😂 but thank you ! hope everything goes well with becoming a trainer !
@@chez8239 I’m from Milwaukee wi so I’m not sure if it’s different for different places I started out at .50cent a mile I believe tho and got my first raise for getting 30,000 miles and then it was like a big company raise when I started but u can also ask for what truck u want just see what ur driver leader has available i started out with a 2018 freight liner I have a 2020 now I like it but I’m working to get a brand new truck soon but that should come with time and don’t be nervous picking up loads ur gonna mess up but U learn from ur mistakes I still make mistakes but don’t get frustrated now cause I’m continuously learning
thanks for the advice👍
@@chez8239 they got me at 42cpm
@@alexsoileau8808 oh dang.. otr im guessing ?
Since your a rookie remember to always learn from other drivers and that there's probably more information your mentor didn't cover. Always remember the driver is always responsible for good driving and for bad driving, be responsible.
noted thank you !
Did they test you on pre trip for solo upgrade? Also how long was the road test for upgrade?
yess they did ! and road test took about 30 min
I’m with my mentor rn, got offered a chance to join a really small account. I’m supposedly home almost every day but pay good.
That first 30 seconds gave me anxiety lol
im so sorry !😭😂
Ayeeee congrats bro !✊🏾
thanks fam😂
I smoke for 6 months so am waiting until June to sign up by then it will be 90 days I stop smoke can't wait
that’s great drop that blunt and make a big move I had to do the same haha👍
What kind of drug test? Urine or hair?
@@MN-mj2nc Both (:
Freighliner's and Volvo's 🙌🏾🙌🏾
congrats, I go to orientation at the ocala terminal on the 17th. Hope i get a good mentor. how many bags worth of stuff did you bring?
I brought 3 bags in total 1 duffel bag and 2 small bags
I stayed at that same hotel for orientation in Utah! Ate at the Zaxby's my first night there. I'll be starting with my mentor this week.
Do you get a mentor as soon as you finish the trucking academy? I’m wanting to find out if academy and OTR are back to back or do they send you home first?
When you trainers truck smells like ass...😂😂😂
hope I get a nice and clean mentor really don't want to have to tell someone to fuckoff and go take a bath currently waiting for driver Id and mentor
lmaoo I get your worries😂
Hi. I just wanted to ask how does this work out for someone who has their class A license and is fully endorsed already, do they immediately go with a trainer ? Please let me know, thank you.
yess if u currently have everything in hand u will go straight with a trainer !
@@chez8239 okay. Thank you 😊
Finally got my CDL A, and now looking for a starter company. Thinking about going swift and you pretty much summed it up. Really enjoy your videos. Keep it up 👌.
Wanna know how often are you given home time and where did you do your resets. I’m either looking for swift flatbed or reefer.
home time was tough for me at swift I was a month out and 4 days hometime bro lol
@@chez8239 Damn. I’m joining swift soon. I’ve talked to one of the recruiters and they said I’ll be getting my 34 hr reset at home. Hopefully there telling the truth. I need at least 1-2 days of home time.
Why did you pick OTR over Dedicated? Does Swift require 6 months to run dedicated?
I did dedicated and no they just say that but you can jump right into it
Why OTR and not local?
Im confused when you said reading test? Is it pre trip test or what
So is this where they pay for your CDL program, or does everyone have to ride with someone for a month? So its always where one drives, while the other sleeps or what? Or do you stay in hotels too during the training?
How do you feel about the international. I've done all my training in freightliner
thank you for the infor but question so did you get paid for that ?
I’m deciding on western express or swift not sure which one yet
im sure either one can deliver the experience you will need as a trucker👍
I'm starting Swift Late April. Wish me luck
R you on the road for 4 weeks straight with your mentor
Nice VLOG kuya keep it up pa shout out po kuya ingat palagi and keep on trucking And CONGRATS to your new work and company
thank you pare (: ingat den lagi bro
@@chez8239 You too
? What’s a driver qualification leader for swift
It got some info under that
idk im sorry!
I going to swift next hopefully by the end of next month
Is the driving test for the Upgrade with a trailer or without a trailer
with the trailer bro haha
What name of the truck you is trying to get and why change
I wish we could talk in person
Did you get to drive your truck to your house or did you have to leave it at a terminal I’m going to be working for swift I start training in 3 weeks
I take the truck to my house sometimes lol just make sure you are allowed to park wherever you park it
International has smartpass to
I’m thinking about it just scared of driving something that long and I’m going OTR so not sure where you go at night or just situations like you got ah bathroom emergency lol
there is a lot of rest area’s and truck stop u can park at and use bathrooms lol for emergencies you would have to just hold it till u find the next available restroom u can find lol
I’ve read a bucket and some wood pellet cat litter works well.
@@calebfarmer6236 LOL
@@calebfarmer6236 it's only common sense to keep a bucket but the snowflakes scoff
Congrats bro
thanks fam😂
Do u workout while you’re getting loaded/unloaded?
I actually wanna do that lol
So you have to buy you’re own gps?
can you make a video on the swift hiring process. I think Prime is harder to get hired by because they have a lot of requirements.
What are the requirements of prime?
@@John_R_Jackson_III search prime hiring. I saw a vid way back explaining
"I HATED MY MENTOR, HE WAS DIRTY" said the guy that showers and puts the same clothes on every day for a week +. 🤣🤣
same clothes ?🙃 lol
Lmao as I was reading it he said it at 18:00-18:53
😂that's funny as asss
Bro nad ddrive ka ba when there's ice on the road?
hello pare, oo never pa ako nag shutdown due sa weather haha sobrang careful lang pag bad snow talaga
Is the written test multiple choice❓
yes lol super easy😂
How long was the training?
Do you take ur test in manual or automatic
automatic
Wow
Do anybody have an Email address on a recruiter because I can't get ahold of any on the phone?
really ?? have you tried the number on the actual swift website ? sorry I didn’t keep my recruiter number on my phone. :(
You got home every week during training?
I think I got lucky and went home twice during the training with mentor, lol
Is swift all solo driving? I'm thinking of going through their cdl program to get started and I'd prefer solitude or solo driving to teem.
they have solo and team whichever u prefer bro👍
@@chez8239 but solo and team is a different pay
@@victorsolis4838 ^^ true that
@@victorsolis4838 what’s the pay difference?
@@jessiemac96 can make over 100k team driving.
bro binabalikan ko mga video mo to get more ideas hehe
hahah ayos yan bro thank you😇
Lol punishment 🤣
So once I’m done with my mentor I have to take a written & driving test, again?? Lol was the test hard at all?
haha dont worry its easy they just want to make sure you are totally ready to go solo (: seen a guy failed on his written and they just have him retake until he passes 😂 its a joke if you ask me lol
Wow, looks like a hotel in Utah I stayed at.. unless they all look the same.. remember that hideous carpet
That's crazy iam in the same hotel u was in lol
How much were you making a week with your mentor?
tbh they promise me they will pay me 650$ flat, but my checks comes out 300-600$ there was one time only that they paid me almost 700$ ... not everything they say is true just a note.
Thank You bro. I start next week with Swift. 🤞
@@grandmarshall505 No problems man ! that’s good I wish u goodluck u got this !👏 lmk how everything goes haha
Is that a automatic
So your in the process of getting your cdl with them?
already got my cdl (:
@@chez8239 why are re-testing you on pretrip? Never had to do that with a company just short test drive.
@@ryanpatterson5269 thats what im sayin!😂 they be extra out here man
What kind of work did you do before trucking?
I was doing Valet parking at a hotel lol
@@chez8239 lol Damn trucking must be better than that
@@reikobitch definitely! lolol
What was the drug test process at swift?
Urine & Hair follicle test
can you take someone with you when you finish all the process? jus to ride with you?
I believe you can but you will need to notify your driver leader or driver manager 👍
@@chez8239 it’s swift worth it?
@@yeseniamendoza391 0-10 I would say 8 and still recommend it to new drivers who are trying to get out here and get the first year experience
@@chez8239 thank you for the info.
Did you get paid training??
yess check out my recent video I took a screenshot on how much I got paid during training.
What was the pay like when you were with your mentor ?
600-700$
Would u Recommend a new driver fresh from school working for swift ? I’m just trying to get some Experience doing regional driving
@@turtlenojoke3402 yes its not a bad company but pays really low but that’s how it is everywhere else when u are trying to gain experience 👍
So I applied at swift but I didn’t have my license for the full year so I can’t apply just yet but do you have any pointers on how the training is like or whatever
I made a video on how the training was sorry just so much to say/type when it comes to training obtaining that cdl,

How many questions on the test before you upgrade
if I’m not mistaken 50 questions 👍
@@chez8239 ok cool if that test isn’t nothing like the CDL permit test what is that test about is it about being with the mentor ?
@@dushawnpope7902 its mainly about how to do things right in a way, you know like macro’s, and “what would you do” situation questions lol really easy, a lot of it just common sense questions👍
Is it a written test or multiple question?
How many days do you get home time a month ?
for being a month out I get 4 days home time
@@chez8239 lets say if i wanted more home time what would be the best route to go ?

@@kronicobx6045 see you out here (:!
As we all know, swift is one of the worst trucking companies ( worst training, with incompetent trainers, management, etc.); meaning, even doe their drivers are consider " Professional Truck Drivers", they are directly/ indirectly maneuver by incompetent Office Pushing jockies ( Company owner (s), Brokers/ Broker's staff, dispatchers, shippers, etc.). Don't take it from me; meaning, let their record reflect itself.
Very accurate statement I'm only going to swift to get some experience to go to a better company
At least they let u take ur dog
@@rookietrucker5114 That's a good thing.
@@rookietrucker5114 One good thing about Swift, their trucks are always in good condition (mechanically); in other words, they do take care of their trucks, when it comes to repairs; meaning, less break downs; therefore, you will making more money than the average company, they always have loads all over the U.S.A, and they are trust worthy when it comes to your pay.
The more T calls you do, the more money you will be making; meaning, less time spend at receiver, and shipper, and that's a time saver within the 70 hours; therefore, save your money, and keep rolling.
What kind of drug test did you have to take ?
urine and hair follicle test
@@chez8239 how can you pass a hair follicle test if you've smoked before ? Like if it's been over a year
@@victorhardin2186 if its been over a year you should be able to pass it 👍

Hey what's up

Congratulations, can you tell me about the test that you have to take with Swift Transportation. after you finish with your training what kind of written test? do you have to take with Swift Transportation. once you're done with your training you have to make a certain grade on it can you tell me more about that?
Hey thank you! and what test are you talking about because they are 2 written test I took to become solo, 1 for your CDL, 2 is after your mentor’s training, I can tell you this they are both EASY dont even stress about it (:
