    Gerry, Sounds like your doing lots of research and that's great. But I would advise that You never borrow money against your home to purchase a truck. Not now not ever. To much can happen in this industry and I would rather loose my truck than my home. In my area we have several small company's with everything sitting and for sale.

    Been trying and trying and no one is willing to take me on board. Clean record. Only issue is the job history. Haven't worked in 8 months.

    Prime newbies get more respect than Swift newbies.
    Swift drivers are treated unfairly by other drivers.
    I started out with TransAm and I swear we got more respect than Swift and our newbies were tearing up stuff daily.

    What are you trying to do go to truck school ran by a truck company?
    Try Henderdon Trucking in Caseyville, IL.

    Henderson pulls Prime trailers and is their system. We also pull Tennant dry vans. HT hires all over.
