Swift Trucking School Review – Company Paid CDL Training

Swift Trucking School

Swift is a highly recognized name in the world of truck driving and Swift Trucking School provides some of the best company paid CDL training around.  Students can choose to train from several locations around the United States, including Arizona, Idaho, Tennessee, Texas, or Virginia. Every Swift Truck Driving School location offers in-class and behind-the-wheel training that is certified by the Professional Truck Driver Institute (PTDI), assuring that you’ll get the highest quality truck driver training possible.

Tuition for the course is $3,900 and students are required to pay a $150 seating fee which is due on the first day of class.

This comprehensive paid CDL training course at Swift Truck Driving School provides students with financing for student housing (2 to 5 students per room), bus transportation, and will reimburse the whole $3,900 cost after you have worked for them for 26 months.

Students can either pay the whole $3,900 tuition up front or they can finance it through Swift with interest-free financing. Any student that chooses to finance the tuition through Swift will have $150 deducted from their paycheck each week for 13 months. Once the 13 months is up and the full cost of the tuition has been paid back, Swift will then add an additional $150 to the employee’s paycheck each week for the next 13 months.

Stay with Swift for the full 26-month period and the truck driver training program will cost you absolutely nothing. However, any driver that leaves Swift before the first 13-month period is up, will owe Swift $300 for every remaining month of the 13-month period.

Swift Trucking School has both a two-week course and a three-week course. During the first week of the two-week course, students participate in online training from home, studying for the CDL written tests. Once a student successfully passes the CDL written exams, they will then be required to report to Swift Truck Driving School.

During the first week of the three-week course, students do not arrive at Swift Truck Driving School with a commercial learner’s permit (CLP), and do not study online at home. Instead, they study and take their CDL written tests during the first week of instruction at the training academy. The last two weeks are exactly the same as the two-week course.

At Swift Truck Driving School, students will go through 2 weeks of combined classroom instruction and driving range practice, learning backing maneuvers and driving techniques. Four days are usually spent inside the classroom, while the remainder of the week is spent training on the driving range. Please keep in mind that these are not 8-hour days but, rather, 11-hour days, 6 days a week, from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m.

If you are looking for a well-rounded paid CDL training course that offers benefits with one of the top company sponsored truck driving schools, Swift may be the company for you.
