Becoming a Newbie Again

In 12/02 I went to Smith and Solomon Driving School. In Jan 03 I went to Swift for awhile. That same year I went to JB Hunt. Since then I have been driving local. Well 8 years later I am going to be getting back to OTR. A few weeks ago I applied to the state for schooling they said they did not have the money. So I had to wait. Since then I set up to go to Swift in Jonestown, PA. I have a date of the 7/11 to go to orientation. On Friday the state called they have the money so now I can go to school. So I am going to go back to Smith and Solomon for 160 hrs. I am not sure I am going to still go with Swift now more doors will open because I am going back to school. I am not looking forward to being in a truck for weeks with a trainer. I dont believe I need to having a spotless driving record and DAC. Now I am going to have to do more research on other companies to see who would be the best for me. It is hard to figure out because of recruiters lying to people.
