As for now, I just need to complete the training, get hired, pay off my schooling, and make some money for the both of us.
Amen to that!

Tim Hutson..you can get the Sumner Terminal number by calling the Phoenix terminal main number 800-800-2200, and asking the operator for the Sumner number, call Sumner and ask for Tim, tell him your situation and see if he can ramp things up for you. It doesn't hurt to ask!

I am headed north tonight with a load to Kent, WA...if you want, would be nice to put a face with the post, if you have questions we could have a cup of coffee on my way thru Salem. I will take my ten at Roseburg Love's, then continue on Sunday noonish. There is plenty of parking at the Salem K-Mart...you know the one with the Adult book store and charles Schwabb tire facility...what a way to describe a location...and the airport is across the street. but I will check this thread Sat night/Sun morn before I leave to check on your response if any.
I know Troutdale is the closest one... Cindy had told me that after the schooling when I get to the Orientation stage it will be at Sumner... So far I don't have a situation that would Warrent to give Tim a call directly as of yet since I technically still have to wait till Monday to let them know I have my Permit now anyways but I'll definatly add the number to my list of Swift contacts LOL...

I know exactly where that K-mart is and there is the cool Coffee in Motion coffee shop right there as well... and I am always up for a cup of coffee.. I know it'd take a bout 5-10 min to get from home to there so if ya wanna give me a shout when ya are in the area that'd be cool...

Said what? What ol' Nana wrote?? (don't forget, spoiling is her game).
Just remember if your thoughts and sentiments don't "ring true" with what a couple others have to say here, it's "negative" and incorrect. (Even though both don't hesitate to tout their allegience to the constitution). Don't get me wrong...I don't discount the value and meaning of the document, I'm just not a hypocrite of it.

Windy, you are quite the spoiled little boy aren't you. Nana reminded someone of the rules of this forum, not to post phone numbers, the other probably got a polite nastygram from a mod at some time for doing just the same thing..posting a phone number.

Your thoughts about certain things you have posted are your issues with Swift and you..yet you continue to fault anyone who disagrees with you. You have not been disallowed your right to speak your mind, some, like me disagree with what you say...freedom of speech goes for both sides of the street..pro and con of any subject. However it does not allow personal indictments of another person, or the words of another person, unless the words are threatening, libelous, or blatantly false and demeaning.

You are doing your best to turn this thread, a thread that many read to find out what happens, on a daily, as it occurs documentation of the activities at a Swift academy. Nana tried to do the same thing, and there were a couple who did exactly what you are doing to this thread. Trying to pick a fight and get the thread closed by a moderator due to the bickering back and forth.

Please stop your anti-Swift tirade and allow Ford to post what he started. Allow him to finish his academy and document what happens during his time. There are threads for those who have a dislike for Swift. Post all your attacks on Swift, their academies, and the Swift personell to the sections that are purposed for the bad of companies. Let Fords thread continue without disparaging sentiments from you or others that have a bad taste for Swift.

The latest attempt to turn this thread from what it is, is turning to political twists and turns. there are threads for politics also...move over there and start your own thread and have a good time getting jumped on by anyone who opposes your viewpoint there...but be careful, they don't just use inuendo and second hand information..they research, back their posts with links, actual active links that support their side, and also have links that go against what they beleive and refute the claims...so have fun spinning over on the threads designed for your spin and outrage.

Thank you for showing Ford a little respect, and the others who are using this thread for its intended purpose!

I have never gotten a threat or post about a phone number. I told someone that I thought it was stupid to post a phone number a couple weeks ago. I could probably find the thread if I needed to but I really dont want to.

I was only taking a stab in the dark, your post was a bit confusing the way you worded it, so I just guessed. But I did get it almost right it was about posting a phone number so to speak...sorry for the misunderstanding steelersfan...BTW, I still haven't given up on the "Los Angeles Rams"...LOL

Did they tell you what the secret was? What was the medical condition?
