Driver Orientation

Orientation is generally located at the closest terminal to where the driver lives and lasts 3 days. During this time truck drivers are familiarized with Swift's process, equipment, regulations, and polices. To get to orientation Swift provides transportation (Greyhound Bus ticket) to the terminal if needed.

Upon completion of your orientation, new drivers will go out with a mentor for a 4-6 week paid mentorship program in which drivers will receive on the job training. Experienced drivers, depending on their road test, will either become solo drivers directly following the orientation or be asked to go out with a mentor for a couple of weeks to refresh their driving skills.
