I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Swift Transportation (Fontana, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Over the phone with a recruiter. Very friendly but quick. Was in school the following week. After the schooling, they assist with getting the Class A permit and a certified instructor takes you on the road to pass the driving test. Once that's done, you received an conditional offer of employment and go to orientation. After orientation, you go on the road with a mentor for a month.

Interview
Recruter calls and makes promises they don't keep just to get you hired. They told me training would last four weeks and it ran over to being 6 weeks with no home time. The trainer i was with went home and I stayed in a hotel till it was time to go on the road again. Also someone in oritation asked about vacation time and was told they'd just have to clean out the truck and go.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Swift Transportation (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2024
Interview
Everything is done online in the pulse app and over the phone with recruiter.
All paperwork is signed online with no face to face contact until you receive a date for orientation. At orientation they will go over PowerPoints with you and get drug testing done. Afterwards they will ask when you’re available to start. Only waited a week after orientation to get out with a mentor for OTR training.
