    When I was with star out of nashville. My 1st truck made it 139 miles out of the gate and broke down. Was towed to a dealer. I broke down again in Allentown PA under a load and was towed to a dealer. They dropped the trailer there and the repower shows up to get my trailer and he breaks down at the dealer. I got my truck back and made it to VA and broke down again. I went thru 3 trucks in 3 months.....:biggrin_2554:

    Well that is the reason I am going to Swift. They didn't require a credit check, made sure my DMV record was good enough as well as my criminal history (dont have any), and can slowly pay back my half of schooling. I just want to go thru school, get my CDL, get some VALUABLE seat time, then go to wherever. I would like to try getting into their flatbed division, but I'll take whatever. I dont have any expectations, though was just sent an email saying training will be 23 days, then home for a couple days, then by bus to my home terminal for orientation, then right into a truck with a trainer. Also just got another email saying orientation would be at whatever 'home terminal' they assign me to. More than likely it would be MSP or KC.
