I'm looking at doing my schooling at the community colledge. I live here in Phoenix and looked at the privite school Swift uses seems good,but I dicided on going to the colledge instead. Here is a web link you might find interesting. It was journals of new drivers and the one from David in June of 2001 Talks about his training with a Swift Trainer and the runs they made. http://www.newbiedriver.com/Trainee_Tales/index.html
I have been looking at Swift also as a first choice to start with,but it might be a little while. The colledge has already started classes and the next class startup won't be until last week in March.
Good Luck, keep it safe out there -->
thanks

Hey LocknLoad,
You might try dropping some email to greased lightning. He has a post on this forum about supertrucker wannabees. I think he and his wife went trough the Swift training about 6 months ago. I am sure he can give you some good advice about the school.
Good luck and remember to post your training adventures here.
