    Hi all,

    Quick question. So I was with Swifty from Jan to April of 2010. Mother in Law had a stroke so I had to leave Swift to help Wife with situation. In the mean time I got a local non-driving job from May 2010 to May 2011. That place closed due to being bought out.

    Been missing being on the road ever since and Swift was a decent company actually. Just the first trainer I was with sucked, so I went with another trainer who was great. I felt terrible having to leave.

    Anyways, I know it will be hard getting back into trucking due to the not being on the road for 2 years, and only having 3 months exp. I was thinking of going to one of the big companies that has a training program like CR England.

    I thought about going with CR England for the training and leaving after 6 months, but was wondering if there are any better companies with training programs that would hire someone in my situation.


    Thanks in advance!!
