    Today I think we found a school that will take my husband on as a student! Swift sounds like they will take my husband since his license is current and he hasn't surpassed their moving violation requirements. His license was suspended for a LONG time due to many old unanswered tickets (6 years old or older) but the recruiter said she was pretty sure he just needed to have had a valid license for a year in his lifetime, not the past year. I'm so eager for him to come home and call them. I'm do hopeful that his young and dumb mistakes don't screw this up for him!

    Most recruiters are paid per person that they get in the door. A lot of them will say anything to get you in there, not caring if you get sent right back home.

    When I tried to get on with Werner I went with them cause I wanted to run one certain division. I told them wife riding with me. This division ran trucks with a mini sleeper. No way wife couls go. So kept trying to stick me on regional accounts that would have made me no money. Didnt pass my physical cause my blood surgar was high that one day. Never been that high before or since. Thankful never got hired on.

    Not telling you this to discourage him from going to Swift or any company. Just want you all to have your ducks in a row and be prepared, just in case.

    Sounds like the story of a potential Coca Cola account runner @crappiejunkie. If you enjoy 6 hr load / unloads that'd have been about right, haha.

    I agree on the point about - get them in, fill the quota, turn the rest away for whatever reason can be conjured.
