Driver: George A.

Prior to coming to Swift, George worked in the transportation industry for 18 years, but in a management position for a company in Hawaii. He moved to Arizona from Hawaii, so he had only been to California and Nevada at the time.

During his time in OTR, he was able to go to 45 states! Some of his favorite places to see were New York and San Francisco, where he rented a car to go into the cities. Outside of driving, he loves surfing, fishing, and snowboarding. He also pilots a motorcycle - a 600 horsepower turbo Suzuki!

George admits at some points when he was starting off he thought, "This isn't for me." However, he now feels comfortable and confident in his skills as a driver. He wants other new students to not give up and to be able to reach out to him if they need help or advice.

It's for this reason George is very active on our Swift Driver Facebook group, offering advice and weighing in when he can. We love to see experienced drivers supporting the next generation.
