    Likewise. Gettin there. Have looked at just about all if them. Want solo. Keep reading & asking trying not to miss details. Have read the negs on swift , central & prime. Three I'm considering for my needs.
    Hope to decide soon. Like swift training. Pay of prime. Reviews of central company. It ll all come together. Long live ink!

    News flash ,
    There are thousands of strangers pushing 60k everyday .
    They are going to be in front , behind and alongside you every minute you're on the road.

    So you mite wanna rethink that " trust " thing , that or get a " work from home " job.

    I know there are others pushing that kind of weight, but its a little different if your in the truck rolling over, jack knifing, or smashing #### up ya know. We all take that risk everyday driving our own personal vehicles that wouldnt stand a chance against 60k+lbs too ya know.
