    I think there are a lot of companies out there which think of you guys/gals as just a seat warmer. And I know I can tell when the company husband works for seems to have new sales planners, there are major cluster deals somedays. It has left us both wondering how they planned on the load getting in. On a few he has turned down with now way. He is a lease op though and not on a dedicated account.

    Man, that sucks to hear. Best of luck if you do go elsewhere. I almost signed on with Swift too but guessing that's all mega carriers. I have a question MM3. Is training pay enough to get your own place? like an apartment or something? I am curious because pretty soon..like 2-3 months I am having to vacate where I am living.

    LOL. You can barely afford a place to live when you are getting mileage pay with a lot of these companies anymore.

    Meh...


    I just had a crappy run of lucky over the past two weeks.

    It ended falling on the proper party responsible.

    All BS that I'm sure happens anywhere.

    Just sometimes makes you wonder about looking for more money to continue the journey.

    Swift overall has been great to me, most of my struggles involve having to work too much... Which frankly is good problem to have.


    About the apartment, your truck comes with one. The job comes with free showers, if your smart... Also free lunch or breakfast a few times a week.

    So starting out would you go with Swift or Western Express?

    I don't know anything about WE.

    I would venture to guess that swift will many more options /opportunities for new drivers.... Based on it's size, and depending on your location.

    I've scored just about everything a rookie driver could hope for here.

    I think that is what burns me up the most.... When BS really starts to pile up, people are scrambling to have the blame land on the driver.

    Even though these things are sure to happen everywhere, I may be at a point where I can pick up a decent pay increase elsewhere to face the issues.

    I really hate feeling that way, after so much good has happened
