Could you take a moment to explain this a bit more? Is the per diem a tax deduction from which we benefit only at tax time, or are you using the...
Yes, I have no doubt the companies do not want to hire out of Central and South Florida. I am in the enviable position of not owning a home, being...
I am not too far from Winter Haven, Bobby. I do not have my CDL, and I do not want to pay to get it. Are you paying for your training at Ridge...
Tampa is a great place to move at this point. Real Estate depreciation is second highest of any city in North America according to this months...
I am not sure what to make of some of these Swift complaints. A lot of them seem to be big company complaints, not specific to Swift, but true of...
jb: It sounds like you are at TMC in South Carolina. Is that right? Are they paying for your training? Could you provide a recruiters contact...
I am seriously considering Swift for the full training and at least a year of work, and thus far the only meaningful complaint against them is...
Thanks! Know of a similar place in Tampa? I have friends there I can stay with, but if not I can focus on Mid Florida Tech.
I met with the Roadmaster Recruiter yesterday. They want either $6500 written contract, or $5500 cash up front. Seems like a good class, and...
Sassy: A lot of the initial posts on this Werner thread mentioned the difficulty in getting miles for a solo. Your hubby is now solo, correct?...

Thanks Dave, I just finished sending an e mail to McCormack at the Trucking Careers of America. So if I get this right: I have clear Driving...
Thanks. Was there any out of pocket for the school? I understand they keep you working for them for a year, but did you have to pay the money up...
I agree with you, it makes no sense to me to pay $5,000 to drive a truck, especially when the first year pay is only $35K to $45K. I did find a...
I am interested in going to school on my own also. Could you explain the connection between ITDS and your community college? I just checked my...
Could you tell me a bit more about this/these programs? I want to get my CDL for as little out of pocket/personal debt as possible, and I do not...
I am reading your posts about Swift Training. Is this for new drivers without their CDL, or is it post CDL training? I do not have my CDL,...
