Short of you having had road experience.... I would recomend you get those 30 - 60 days anyways. The experience of learning where stuff is helps treamondously!

I myself haven't driven big truck, but for what seems to be my entire life my father has and i go out on the road with him for a month to two months every year. I have experience with driving truck though with the company i currently work for.

I know that, but it's between swift and CRE. I haven't heard or seen anything good come from swift.

It it was me I'd go with Swift. At least you won't have to walk through a metal detector to see your dispatcher. Best of luck in whatever you decide.

Schneider I heard is good, not sure if they are hiring newbs though. Pick up a trucking magazine at a truck stop and see the ads that take new drivers.
