    The Swift jobs are called "shuttle runs" and are very rarely given to the new guys.There is usually a waiting list.

    Update i went to schinder they taught me to back in after training I got a team job at a small company that had a dedicated route to LA. I learned everything about trucking in 4-5 months. Now im at another trucking company privately owned where I go to phx twice a week home every weekend and have a new volvo vnl 760 top speed at 75mph. I have no problem backing into docks now but its been a year. Im making $2200 a week now. Thanks.

    ####, good for you brother. Glad to read there is money to be made out there. It gets discouraging when you hear guys talking about $800 checks.

    Look on the Oasis overpasses. I’ve seen a few different banners. YRC, Holland, and ? Offers on new drivers starting out.

    Also constantly see signs at shipper/receivers for local drivers. Lots of them down off 57 and 55. Other places too.
