I suppose you have to start some where. But I really really really hate to see any body have to start with Swift!! What often happens because of really bad experiences with them and ones like them folks that might have made a good trucker get turned off before they are really given a chance to see if they like the job.

brickman, thanks for the advice, and i really do understand what you are trying to say. it is just that for a newbie it is hard getting in anywhere to begin with. so he just wants a foot in the door.
