Well other than East coast Philly north to Boston excluded. The rest listed is doable, and not too bad. You can't expect to make it as a rookie with a training company if you excluded 75% of all their accounts. Pick your battles wisely fulfill your minimum contract/obligation with starter company then get out and upgrade.
On a lighter note, Detroit is really nothing more than a bunch of abandoned buildings.bryan21384 Thanks this. -
Welcome to New York
It’s not testing it’s just like you said where you run. It’s tight in the northeast. Just go slow, take your time, and even use google maps to plan accordinglybryan21384 Thanks this. -

Oh. When I worked at Swift you sent a macro that you were ready for a load. Than they sent you a load, and you could except, or say won't work. On the qcom. Then they kept sending more loads to look at.06driver Thanks this. -
Yea my thoughts exactly it’ll prepare me for local tanker work. Swift is just a stepping stone for me to gain experience than move on to something better.Lepton1 Thanks this.

I do take my time and go slow in tight areas.

As others have said, new drivers get the crap loads that the experienced drivers turn down. Yes they are more challenging, which is why the experienced drivers don't want them.

Most likely the run you have, that has so many challenges, keeps losing the driver the company has assigned. Past drivers may be hitting stuff or quickly quitting due to the problems on that run. The next new driver they hire that agrees to do it, gets it. Until he quits or is fired.
Trucking companies usually don't have some master strategy. They're busy just getting through the day. -
Pretty sure the dedicated accounts do not work like that.

Pretty sure I was not dedicated on anything.
