    Swift will be worse now then when I was there decades ago now that the evil thieving Knight family took over. You can’t remember where you worked ?
    It’s 10 years now last I heard pretty crazy I think. I know someone who had a spotty work history so he asked family members to just vouch for him that yes he worked for them. Once your seated in a truck I’ve never seen one taken away because the work history didn’t hold up.

    The ten year job history is a Dot thing for employers, find a different company to get CDL through, some CDL schools will train you if you promise to work for one of the carriers that hire students through them.

    Truck co's require 10 year work history (per feds) HOWEVER, and you'll love this, they're only required to verify the last 3 ! I mean, think about it, a co. calls another co. and asks if Joe Schmoe worked there 9 years ago ? Who has records that far back ?
     
    Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this.

    Find a company that provides APU’s, does not require you take a physical from their doctor, and provides a refrigerator.
