    Well I am hate to hear that Swift does the same thing CR England does. It is a shame that they couldn't all be busted for this type action, they make sure they starve you out and run in negative paychecks.

    My 1st day is tomorrow with my mentor. I just want to be safe and have a comfortable living. I don't know what to do when I get finish with my 240 hours. I'm fresh outta school (1-9-13) that was only 7 weeks. I live in a big port city (Savannah) and its not how much money I make its how much I profit after kids and bills (3kids) (2bills carnote&cell phone). I guess I have a silver spoon in my mouth but that's how I was raised. I really want to be a o/o or l/o more so than anything here at Swift but I understand the crawl before you walk saying but what should I do when I complete my 240 hours? I'm not afraid of anything out here in this world just had a bad past I'm trying to overcome.

    Got our preplan, not great but it gets us moving. Live load in So Cal tomorrow at 11am then live unload in Dallas at 1700 Wednesday. Mapquest says it's a 21 hour drive and we get 26 hours to do it, Is this what is meant by a Plus 1 load? Oh well it'll put me 10 hours closer to my 240 hours so no complaints.

    That is a definate plus one load. Do not forget the time difference, 2 hours, plus the time that you will use to live load.

    I have a friend drives who says he hates the Northeastern part of the country. He says they are the rudest people. I guess that's something I need to be on the lookout for.
