At Swift, there is much more to a career in trucking than just being an excellent driver. There is also a tremendous opportunity to impart your knowledge to the next generation of Swift drivers while enhancing your own earning potential. This is the role of a mentor.

A mentor is responsible for working with recent graduates from CDL schools and helping them become capable, confident truck drivers. Student drivers will typically spend six to seven weeks on a mentor’s truck actually hauling loads, delivering freight and taking care of customers’ needs.

The driver mentor role can be extremely rewarding with the mentor enjoying the satisfaction of knowing that he or she has equipped a new driver to begin a great new career. The mentor will also enjoy increased earnings for taking on this important responsibility.
