    I'm just going with Swift to get time on the road. Still waiting to hear back on this other job that said No experience needed. That is for driven Van. If I go out to Phoenix and the other places calls and will take Me asap... I'll go with them. If not, then I'll be a Swifty for 1 - 2 years

    That's my mindset as well, gotta start somewhere to get the experience.

    I Actually lucked out. Apparently, the guy he was training got sick and had to go into the hospital, so they assigned me instead. So far so good, it looks like we are going to get along great, and he has a lot of driving experience.

    We'll be heading out again tomorrow night, probably back to CA.

    Hope you guys get set up soon.

    Are you going to be able to get in enough hours and the 40 backs with that dedicated route?

    I hear you, I actually still have that local job that I have not heard from yet and should any day now, so like I said before, who ever calls first now.

    You're probably at the top of the list I'd guess. Training starts today, couple hours actually. So far academy, orientation and now this have all started at different times (progressively later) so it's thrown off what time I need to get up.

    They did call today and ask if I was available for a mentor, so we will see. Yeh, after you got use to getting up early now you start later. Plenty of time to eat breakfast I guess.
