    Everyone makes it from the other schools? Tell that to the 26 people out of 44 that did not make it out of the Swift Academy in San Antonio when I went there.

    I wasn't talking about the other Swift academies. I don't know anything about them so I just mentioned millington. What I was talking about are the privateschools schools where everyone that pays passes. They use third party testers.
    When I went to orientation there were 10 of us I was the only 1 from the Swift Academy. I look at the rest of themso and thought none of them would make it through the Swift Academy. None of them are still with swift.

    hey Blue, u sound like a good match for me, i am an exp. trucker tho but with no doc. miles. I learned the hard way by signing with a russian who owned two trucks. I met a great guy who i partnered with.Terry(aka. the midnight ryder) handle. he had no idea i had never been on the road b-4 by the way i drove. anyhow been in dumptrucks for 7yrs. but the const. ind. aint what it used 2 b. I am a gambler and used to b a semi-pro pool player so the vegas run sounds sweet 2 me. all i gotta do is pass my background and roadtest and i should b ready to start sometime in sept. text me if ur interested or r gonna b out this way, I'm in Hagerstown,MD. 301-302-2090 my handle is Roaddoggsteve.

    hey Blue, i think u would b a good trainer for me, i hav sum exp. i learned the hardway on a crosscountry trip from a russian owned co. solo. i'm an x-gambler x-semi-pro pool player who took a job cuz the econo. went bad. i should b ready to roll in mid-late sept. as long as my background is good. Swift is letting me join w.just a roadtest and mentor program even tho i hav'nt been in TT in few years. get a hold of me if u wanna take me on, am easy-going and clean. Ps. how do u feel about cigars? 301-302-2090

    If you lose blue somewhere, just start looking up and down the strip in Vegas. He will be around somewhere.
