    Question:

    I am thinking of going with Swift. The closest place they to me is San Antonio . . . which is four hours from where I live. So if I am done with my trip . . . do I take the truck home, or find my own way home?

    Company policies are different from one to the next. Most I have seen, if your within so many miles of the terminal, you have to park the truck at the terminal. Call and ask the recruiter what the policy is.
