    Thanks 1nonly.. its nice to hear a womans side of driving. Swift is one on the table for me.. Roehl is the other.. I have narrowed it down to the two of them. Your thread has givin me a good insight on miles and home time. There are things I like about both and I take what I read with a grain of salt..( those of negativity of course!) It's hard enough to decide then to have all that bad stuff running through your head.
    Both have terminals where I live so Im sure home time shouldnt be an issue.
    Roehl pays a bit better but Im not sure about the miles.
    I could go on but I dont want to bore anyone with my dilemma.. I just wanted to say good thread and if you have anymore info on swift that you feel may be portant.. let me know.. thanks girl!
     
    1nonly Thanks this.

    Swift recruiting is slammed right now, but they might always be slammed. I did manage to get a seat at the Millington Academy for May 31 though. Took 3 calls to my recruiter and even then she had to go to the mail room to find something I mailed to her over a week ago. Not her fault though, really, I sent something back to her with an original signature on it. Thought that would be better.....nope, fax, fax, fax! It's all good, gimme my keys????

    I'm kinda techno-challenged! I've been trying to figure out how to get to the exams after I study the sections. I left a call-back twice today at Vertical Alliance so they could walk me through it. Got no call-back and I want to get this on-line stuff out of the way. How do you get to the exams?

    LOL I didnt know they had a exam area.. I just found mock exams on the web.. A few websites have mock exams of 60 or more questions that will be on the knowledge test.. and there is one out there on the inspection as well.. it was a hit and miss for me so I cant even give you the web addresses.. just do a search Mock cdl exam or free cdl permit questions.. you should be able to pull up a few.. there one was one that had A lot of questions.. thats the one I passed with a 92 but 2 of the questions I knew.. but I read them to fast and picked to quickly... it just goes to show...when you take your test...SLOW DOWN AND READ AND READ IT AGAIN..

    I used http://www.cristcdl.com/otc/ when I was studying for my Class B. The questions were #### near 100% what I saw on the actual exam.
