    Thanks peeping tom ....and wiseone,....your starting to scare me......is being a trucker a bad thing? remember....I never made good money before, I think I can handle the 1 year with swift,....and then move on, I hear thats what a lot of truckers do? swift seems to want me enough but do you think there are others? swift says I only need to bring like $250 the extra costs.

    Do your research before you commit to Swift. It might still be the best fit for you, but at least you'll know what else is out there.

    man this is gonna be the best part of your life . it's like being 21 again without all the stupid stuff. Hey you raised kids . kudos. that says your responible,dependible,hard working and used to long hour. sounds like trucking to me. Most of all YOU WANT IT! Do your homework, stay away from lease/purchase and remember this is your dream.
    maybe you want to leave the ladies alone for awhile. don't want a repeat of last time. believe me when you do make good money there are plenty of gals willing to spend it for you. It takes a special kind of woman(or man) to be with a driver. youve got plenty on your plate right now . best of luck. visit this sight often it's the best

    Thanks roadhog,...and to all of you really. "see,....this is why truckers are the best people in the world" I knew that the day my mother and I were lost on the expressway .....just being around 5 years old I didn't know where we were going.....when mom stopped at a truck stop and was all crying it, was a trucker who helped us out. We just followed him all the way." I knew I wanted to be like him..................................................someday, I will help someone, and that boy will be looking at me ,....the way I was looking him.

    You folks are the finest people the world has ever known, it makes me angry when I see people in cars zipping around you and flipping you off. They don't deserve to have you folks watching there backs....but you do it anyway, and you would'nt ask any more from them....then your prepared to give yourself.........and that also makes you hero's, and good role models. ...........yeah,.....I wanna be like you,....you bet I do!
