    4 guys to a room....I'm visualizing it in my mind. One guy is neat and tidy and polite. And goes to bed at a reasonable hour. The second guy is loud and annoying and wants to watch TV until 2 am because he's "wired up" etc. The third guy is a nervous nelly who steps out to smoke one every 15 minutes and slams the door, of course, every time he enters and leaves the room. And of course he forgets his lighter or cell phone or room key or whatever. The fourth guy is a "know-it-all" who eats sardines and junk food and makes a mess all over the place. And his loving wife is calling the room every 2 hours to tell him about Billy who has the sniffles and misses Daddy.

    TNVoL is a resident of TN, so because of that Swift requires us to HAVE our DOT physical and CDL permit BEFORE we go. As for the rest of your post, every company has its ups and downs, not just Swift. Every company is what YOU make of it.

    I'd be rigging velcro curtains to my blazer all the way around and crashing there at night..I'd still pay for it out of my check obviously..but I couldn't handle 4 to a room. I can't handle foreign snoring.

    I started with CRE in 05 and they sent me and others to an outside school, it was like $1500 if you had the cash. They paid for all lodging but food was on you. I know at their terminal they have a dorm with like 6 to 8 people in a room and they pay for food at their cafateria, DONT DRINK THE COFFEE, it is a good school but its also on the fringe of the twilight zone. In fact if you pass their school, the obstacle course and road test, you will easily pass anyone else's. I have. Guys I know its CRE and blah blah blah, but the truth is the truth.

    Ive been treated very well where Im at now, and everyone will say NO F****** WAY MAN. So Im keeping that under my hat for now. Not CRE. JB wasnt all evil either. Truth is the truth. And its my experiences , cant type for anyone else.
