    Also...he has opportunities in more than one place, and in more than one track to getting a CDL.

    Personally, I would wait for Trainco simply b/c the opportunities are almost ENDLESS when you graduate with that certificate from a highly regarded school.

    Will it sound better coming from former employees who know what they're like?

    One can judge based on personal experience, so it really wouldn't be an assumption, would it?

    And as far as "things are much different", how would you know unless you worked for them long enough to make your statement? You've got nothing to base your comparison on except hearsay.

    You have a memory like an elephant. :biggrin_2559: A "Swift cheerleader?" My legs wouldn't pass their standards for the cheerleading squad. Was I defending them against smack downs that much? :biggrin_25524:
    I didn't realize I was coming across as being wishy washy, and making a decision has nothing to do with Swift in particular. In general, I am leery of any companie's recruiter telling me something "won't be a problem." I'll be as leery if or when a recruiter from another company tells me something "won't be a problem." Where did I learn this? Why, from the fine folks at The Truckers Forum. And another thing, I did make up my mind. Lilbit is way cuter than you are!:biggrin_25522:

    Things aren't much different at Swift than they were back in the late 90's. Drove for them myself then.
