    Hello, neighbor!! I'm in Frederick, and Swift's in the process of reviewing my app as I type. My last time behind the whel was back in 2009, but only for 9 total months. I'm going to try and negotiate with recruiting as to where I start on their ladder, but it can't be at the bottom LOL!!! Good luck and congrats to you!!

    Well hell they suspended me for 30 days from training over a weathered trailer registration..... I did not even get a warning or ticket and you can still read the info. DOT listed it on inspection report as needing to be replaced,,,, So won't be available until OCT 31

    Dude!, that's harsh... not sure I understand the details, but maybe you can make the most of it and charge your batteries, so to speak... San Antonio, Austin, Canyon Lake is beautiful this time of year and not too hot or crowded... (I went to school in San Marcos)... just saying...
    I get done in Oct 28... in Phoenix... let me know...
    You get to put some miles on your other vehicle...

    Thank goodness the DOT is out there saving lives from weathered trailer registrations. How bout suspending the mechanics who are supposed to be inspecting these trailers every 90 days?

    That's a bit of a BS ... I had one that didn't even have registration ... called it in to road service. They said don't sweat it, registration is current.

    Well if it gets listed on the DOT inspection Swift considers it a citation I guess
