    Guestamates on how long it may take me to get home 2500 miles for my hometime/quit date? I already have a different job lined up and it's just frustrating. I'm just curious what you wager or if you even think I'll get home at all?

    Does swift even have good cross country freight anymore on another topic?

    Let's see,... if you're with C.R. England, you won't. I was out 5 months with promises of monthly home time.

    When did I get home? - 5 months later after I got fired for being 4 hours late for a team load that I transported solo (my 'seat' decided they didn't want to drive anymore,... WHAT?).

    My guess is that you're never going to ever see home again for as long as you live.

    That would have been nice if, in the 5 months I was OTR, I ever got close.

    Columbus is a freight dead zone. Ask for something local just to get ya in a better area.
