    How about running NYC, do they force you to run it or are you given a choice??

    Don't know yet as I go to orientation next Tuesday. Hopefully not as I am not going to pick a comfort zone so i'll do all 48 and possibly Mexico and Canada. I'll take all the runs they will give me in this economy!

    I'm in my last semester of college and am putting in an ap with Swift. I know one person and hes been with them for four plus years. I'm already in the process of getting my cdl permit and have passed practice test(s) with flying colors.

    Will Swift work with me on my hometime for being in various parts of the states? I have family on both the east and west coasts and am hoping to split my hometime.

    When you send your "home time" macro you put in the zip code for where you want to take home time.

    Thanks Pawpaw. Does Swift let you bobtail? Pardon my ignorance but Swift seems to be one of the good training companies. Also, what are the requirements for locking the 5th wheel?
