    With Swift you'll have to provide your own meals - everything else you can get on credit. If you don't have $$ for food for 6+ weeks, try to find a program that provides meals. Schneider's training used to, but they only train out of limited areas now.

    Lol way to read between the lines there. You ever wind up in the hospital for months on end then loose your job because of it (viral cardiomyopathy)? Yes I did put that out about my family since it was related to my feeling on the subject. You have done nothing but try to start a fight. I am willing to bet that if we were having this chat in person you wound have made an attempt to hit me for speaking my mind.

    Since you can't seem to get past the experience part... Been the industry running since 04, got my license in 07. There does that satisfy you? What do you want to see my DL? Do you need to poor over my pay stub and log books? Do you need to see the work that I have been doing?

    LMAO calm down kid don't blow a piston since 04?No offence but you have no idea what trucking was. Talk to some of the real old timers(that is providing you will listen and not be a"Billy big rigger") they know what I mean been around this my whole life.no need to take offence to it
    And yes,I would laugh if we were face to face probably just shake my head and laugh
