Swift Orientation in Jonestown, PA

I am supposed to head to orientation for Swift in Jonestown, PA on Sept. 18th. I don't have much experience on 8, 9, and 10 speed but my recruiter said it wouldn't be a problem because I could get an auto shift truck. Is this ########? I don't think I'd fail the road test on a manual but I'd be rusty. I kinda like the auto shift and it would be nice to get one.

 

I thought as much. I decided to go with Swift because it is large and there are a lot of opportunities. I could eventually get a regional or local position with them.

 

Is Swift patient with new drivers? Will they be forgiving of a mistake that isn't accident-related.

 

I hope they have better quality equipment than Western Express. I left Western because they kept assigning me trucks that would break down. I upgraded to solo and the trucks were just crap, not just cosmetically but mechanically. One even was overcharging at 16 volts. Yipe
