When I got sick of Swift I was still on the road. I decided to look into other companies and do a few online applications. Crete was the next...
Unless things have changed in a huge way since I left Swift a few years ago they're probably trying to train you in Fontana because (A) it's...
That's my usual schedule (with Crete)... 40-50 days out, 6 days at the house. And those 6 days do not include the day I get home or the day I...
Drivers like that are one of the reasons I left Swift. It gets really old having that kind of reputation.
My company does this a lot. Their reason is they want you to bring the truck or trailer with the new steer on it to a company shop where they'll...

I have a friend in WA who's been driving for May since we both went through CDL school. He seems to like it alot but they pay isn't the greatest....
They do use 17 alot in Oregon and Washington. California (especially SoCal) not so much.
The fact that you're a little scared now is a good thing. It means you're normal. Anyone who says they were not scared when they first started...
I literally spit water all over my computer screen after reading the line about the scale ticket. This is truly one of those "better you than me"...
Gee that doesn't sound like a recruiter at all.
I had a 2010 VN780... I think the design of the cab is the same aside from yours having a larger sleeper and a different hood if it's a VT series....
