    Good to see you back Popeye. God willing, I will be attending the Middleton, Tennessee Academy the first of March. Your post have helped a great deal. Thanks, and good luck in your next pursuit.

    Good. Hoping that you will either do to PHX or Greer since they have the best selection, as far as new trucks. Hope that you are not considering a used one.

    No..looking for a brand spanking new 2013 Kenworth T660 with a Cummins powerplant. Prefer a grayish silver or charcoal gray.

    Popeye,

    I've been reading this thread and can absolutely see you are a real standup guy. Congrats on all the success you've come across.

    Here are my questions about Swift (Apologies for a repeat, this thread if way long and didn't read ALL of it)

    1. Recent CDL grad here in Alaska, do you suppose I would have to take a refresher? My understanding it's for guys who haven't been in the truck in over a year.

    2. Relocating to Detroit, what do you know about that terminal?

    3. I have my MVR in hand. There is a careless driving ticket on it. Also years ago I had a few speeding tickets, but they are not on my updated 10 year MVR. Can they pull up stuff that has fallen off? Is what I see on it what they will see, nothing more?

    4. When I was younger I got into trouble with alcohol. Minor in possession, drunk in public. Misdimeaners, no felonies, and I haven't been in a lick of trouble for 7 years. What do you know about this kind of thing?

    Thanks in advance and be safe!

    I'm set to start orientation at the Ocala, FL terminal Feb 5, & my recruiter says it's hourly pay now while with your mentor. I think there are different rate for driving & non-driving hours.
