it was a huge help to be able to look at things in black and white, in the same format.

if anyone would like a copy, i'd be happy to email a copy to ya.
I'd love to get a copy of it as well...

I am actually supposed to be going to Driving Schools on the 19th.

Very good set of questions to consider before applying to a company for a driving job. Next we need complete disclosure of company practices so that we are not hit with surprises after being hired. All on the web!

Nopark check this out ...
[LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. safestat online
great site to check out your companies of interest.
For instance, I was checking out USF Glen Moore and did a few comparisons against Swift
crashes in last 6 month period <> USF-92 to Swift-2601
# of power units <> USF-658 to Swift-18,677
# of drivers <> USF-650 to Swift-21,378
seems more trucks than drivers would be better
moving violations last 6 mos <> USF-198 to Swift-6589
