The Waco Difference

At Swift, our facility in Waco is home to experienced, knowledgeable instructors with more than 50 years of combined experience. Not only that, but they're patient, and can help you learn the skills you'll need to be a safe, competent driver.

In addition, during Academy, you'll meet some incredible instructors and students who will become lifelong friends – and you'll train on some of the best equipment available. Our Instructors are very generous with their time, giving students the attention they need to be successful in our program. We do our best to meet each student on the level of experience and understanding that they possess when they arrive at our academy. All of our on-the-range and over-the-road training is conducted using a top-of-the-line fleet from International that's less than four years old¹.

Since we are located in a small town, you will be exposed to a variety of driving conditions. You will get to operate on Interstate Highways, but you will also get practice on US, State, and County Highways. This exposure will prepare you for the same kind of driving conditions that you will come across as you navigate to and from customers' facilities across the Southeastern United States.
