    So the consensus was to go to school, don't hit anything, pass all of the written and road tests with at least the minimum required scores, ... Go to orientation in Lancaster? I assume at Orientation there is some sort of event that takes place wherein I will tell them specifically that I want to work in flatbed, or should I be on the phone right now trying to get ahold of the division heads and telling them I want to actually work for a living, not bump docks for Walmart?

    Should I remain genuinely concerned about the possibility of not being hired on, once graduated? I have heard of people being sent home from both, school and orientation...

    And in the experience of those working for Swift in flatbed, coming out of school, was there something you did prior to attending, after attending, that put you in flatbed? Still unclear. Lookin to actually get out of the truck when I get a new load...

    School gets you you cdl, and thats what ypu owe money for. Orientation is the first step in working for them. You will not pull a flatbed in school. While in class tell them you want to go flats, and when you get your cdl, assuming they offer you a gig, just remind them that its flats you want

    Will definitely repeat this over and over. Minus the part about "because I actually want to work for a living unlike..." Followed by any other division

    I have to parallel park both sight side and blind side often to get where a lull can reach me... flats or not, a skill worth learning
