Hireing Zone

As far as I know, yes.

 

There is a terminal in Eden, NC. You might try checking there.

 

Swift hire from any where u can apply from, they might even hire u if u live in another country long as u have a cdl or agree to attend their school.

 

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

I knew Schneider recruits worldwide and used to hire all the immigrants the law allowed until all these CDL mill graduates showed they were willing to work cheaper .

 

So Rick...where did you start out in trucking? Chauffeurs license at a small out fit and grandfathered into the CDL? Maybe taught by somone close to you? Who knows. I am just curious.

Some of us didn't have that type of luxury of hiring on with a small company and proving ourselves when the times and insurance rates for new drivers allowed that type of scenario. Those days are LONG GONE brother. Local mom and pops won't hire without at least a year OTR and you can't get that at many places other than starter companies.

Some of us lost our jobs in a devistating economy (as was my case after 30 years in the same industry and 15 with the same company) and decided to invest in a career moving freight. The options are limited. In my case pay over 7 grand to go to a private school or pay less than 4 grand interest free to be trained by Swift and get hired by Swift. It was the best scenario for me and it worked okay. I was able to be at work in less than a month and was driving solo in less than three. No tickets. No accidents. Never backed into anything...not even once.

Call me whatever you desire but I really have lost patience with people who visit these threads and offer "newbies" nothing of substance. No help, no words of advice. Just "super trucker cb BS chatter."

I feel much better now that I have that off of my chest.

 

Not even a dock??

 

Backing into a dock is alright as long as you stop before the water!
