    I assume I am about to talk to Kevin parks for the interview, background check etc so that I can get as much out of the way before I go to school as possible to hedge my odds of acceptance at swift.

    Any last second advice from the gurus?

    Questions they will ask, things they want to, and dont want to hear?

    I already know that I will awnser the "Why do you wanna drive trucks" question with "I have little family left, I enjoy travel, I enjoyed my ride alongs, I know its not always roses but the good outweigh the bad in my mind" or somthing along those lines...

    Just be yourself Dragon and you'll be fine. Don't try and portray an image you're not...they see right through that stuff.
    These are some pretty exciting times for you. Drink it all in, enjoy and learn all you can.
    Congratulations!
     
    gdyupgal, TruckerDragon and JustSonny Thank this.
