Thats right folks, still 52 days (and a wake up) away from leaving Germany and I have a firm job offer. So I'm going to post it here and get some feedback from you find truckers out there. The position is with Swift out of Salt Lake. Starts with a 3day orientation, followed by 6 weeks on the road for training before going solo or team. So, how about it people, how's Swift? I've heard they are a good place to get your feet wet and get some experience for 6-12months, then go elsewhere for more money. Since at 12months I'll be at $0.33/mile (provided they make the promised raises) I'm curious how much more there is to make with 12months experience. Any input you all have would be awesome.

Hello all, this is my first blog here, just to get things started, I'm not actually a truck driver yet as I'm still in the Army. I'm stationed in Germany and will be departing here bound for Las Vegas in mid December. Being that I drive trucks and other heavy equipment in the military my transition should be fairly easy into the trucking world. Just learning now the rig's shifting work (military trucks are all automatic) and paperwork not to mention backing up a 53ft'er which we don't use here. Anyways thanks for checking out my blog, I will post again when I get ready to leave here, and then start posting everytime I have something interesting to write about.
