    It couldn't hurt. Went through a safety class today, and got all the paper work handled. Had some lady come in to try and get us to open a bank account. Besides that pretty slow. Long day.

    They kinda push a little bit for you to have a bank account so that your pay can be direct deposited. The other option would be to load it on your fuel card. You can opt to have all or part of your pay direct deposited. For example, when I was with Swift, I had 200 dollars put on my fuel card each week and the rest direct deposited into my bank account

    I think it was a regional bank but was hooked up with swift. I'm just going to do direct deposit to my current bank account.
