I am looking forward to your post and advice!! Hoping to see you all out on the road be safe and good driving and GOD bless:Trailer::Trailer:

    I drove in the 1990's and am now trying to return since all my children have grown up(have 6 kids and 20 grand-kids) I have been married for 28 years and am 55 years young, Looking to drive where ever the road takes me? Looking to see how much the industry has or not changed was shocked to find some companies paying 28 cents a mile that what i got as a rookie in 1990!!!!!!:biggrin_25510: Thinking about Swift training academy to get refreshed in skills since its been so long? Hoping to have HazMat, Doubles and Tankers by the 12th of Feb 2015 GOD willing.!!!!

    Welcome back. Yes, big changes since you left the trucking world.
    Swift is about as good a place as any to get started again. If you get all the endorsements, especially tanker/hazmat, there's good money to be made. Tanker drivers can easily make $60K+ and some much more. If you want tankers after Swift training, then get TWIC card also. TWIC card is for entry to seaports, military bases and chemical plants. Google for nearest TWIC office.

    So, lots to think about. Enjoy this phase of your life!
     
    Lucar Thanks this.
