And after 6 weeks and many stop overs in the pickle park, well lets just say Im a new person, It was heart breaking leaving him, but he said he got to show the way to more new meat! I understood, and wished him the best of travels.. I so miss him and cry at night in the pickle park, all by my lonessums... But I know in 1 month I can be a trainer, so if you like please wait, chow!

And, I totally agree. However, IMHO, this was not a question about the integrity of a specific carrier, but a solicitation for advice under the circumstances. There's 2 threads on the pecking order of trucking companies- takes 15 mins to figure it out. Obviously, Swift is a REAL dead horse!

Hell, after reading the horror stories about ancient DUI's, I may end up kicking that horse, to. Who knows...? gotta do whatcha gotta do! We all made mistakes... does that mean we all drink on the job, to? Sheesh!

Good luck Mkl, keep posting!

Hey what can I say except Wisconsin started treating the war on drunk driving like a witchhunt with, since 1989, no chance of redemption.

What is a "pickle park"? And, don't tell me it's a park that sells pickles...

NVM, I found the definition in the "Lingo" section. Still can't figure out the correlation between pickles and a rest stop... O.o

Do I detect sexual undertones here?
