    Applying to Swift's paid CDL program. I've had more than 9 jobs within the past 3 years. The good news is I don't have any DUIs, or driving citations in the past 5 years.

    How old are you? Sometimes young people do lots of job hopping.

    Yes, I applied to Jones brother's and they said they weren't interested. Im hesitant to apply for Roehl since I've heard bad things about them, but I gotta start somewhere I guess

    Why did they say no?

    the problem is this —> this is a carrier employment market, too many drivers.
