    Maybe someone can help me here. I forgot to ask the recruiter a few important questions. What ere their trucks governed at? Do they have APU's? Thank You!

    That is the only offer I have received. It has been over 11 years since I have driven. So, sometimes a guy has to do what he has to do.

    Understandable... Swift is a modest company to start with. Look into J&R Schugel, Magnum & HO Wolding too, they're good places to start.
