With a refresher course
With a refresher course, you should be able to land a job easily with a few companies out there. If you want to get a job with an outfit that's good, you will need to have that refresher course under your belt. Community colleges are the best place to get those.

Yeah I drive a Swift truck
And that means one thing
It means she's slow
It's a typical company truck
It's just all show and no go

I'm gettin' passed by Yella
And even Overnite
I'm gettin' passed by ever' body in sight
46 days on the road
And I'm not gettin' home tonight

No, my hometown's nowhere in sight
And if you think I'm pissed off
You're right
46 days on the road
And I'm not gettin' home tonight


Love pissing off those trucking company insiders.

Of course C.Our.England Advert wants you. This is because they have to fill their musical seats. The question is will you fall for it and go to work for 'em?

Replace a quitter today and you'll BE a quitter tomorrow.
