    I worked for Swift for 4 months and then got a local job driving a Motor Coach in Orlando and now want to go back OTR. Any advice who would hire me.
    I have a spot free driving record and no criminal history.

    Thanks,
    Winger

    Most larger companies will still hire you as you have continued driving provided your record is clean but will require you to go out with a trainer because of the length of your OTR experience and the time lapse as you are not now current OTR on a Class 8.

    Stop repeating rumors.


    Just because something is repeated 3 times, on a public forum,
