I'm currently 1 of only 2 students in the truck I'm in now. All the others have graduated. The other student has been in the truck now 2 weeks longer than me.

My driving instructor today told me that we both will be testing this week, but whoever of the two of us drives the best over the course of the week will get to test first. If it's some sort of motivation to do well, it's working. Not that I needed any kind of motivation--the fact that I have no income right now and my bills ...

To be honest, I never expected I'd be sitting here writing about the recruiting process with Swift. I had initinally wanted to go with Werner based on the fact that my brother used to work for them and based on my own research.

Since I started the driving portion in my school, I had been driving a well-used 2004 International 9400, 10 speed. The gears have been worn down so badly by new students that even the instructor grinds gears. After having driven it every day for 3 weeks, I've been promoted to a 2004 Peterbilt 387.

The International reminds me of my first car. Used. Worn out. Somewhat neglected. Slow. But...I've gotten used to it and actually somewhat ...

Seriously, I was able to get my training for free. The only thing it cost me was a lot of time and effort, and the gas to get from my home in south Georgia to my parents' house back in Texas. I don't have to pay any student loans and I don't have any contracts with anyone. Here's how I did it...

Firstly, let me say that what I did was 100% legal, but it can never be done again, by anyone. But, it's a good story...

I was on the phone one day in January with my brother ...

Hello everyone.

Please allow me a moment to regale you with a little history about me. I am 24 years old and have a 3 month old daughter at the time I write this. I am former Air Force. I have been dealt many curve balls in the last few years, which has led me to where I am now in the midst of an expected and unwanted career change.
