    I did, I bought a house during the pandemic, I was going to get my CDL back then, but I waited... perhaps too long.

    You didn't wait too long; still plenty of time for a new career and a good pension plan.
     
    GreenHusker Thanks this.

    Thanks for the response, I looked at that one, but it seems that the school I went to wasn't on their approved list of CDL schools.

    Apply anyway because that company is growing and building new warehouses in different locations. Hiring criteria changes and sometimes without notice.

    Seems like you’ve made your decision about Swift, and I think it’s a smart choice.

    My personal experience with Swift:
    Around 2003 I was hired to do regional like you. I was living in Colorado. My first load was to New Jersey… that’s not exactly regional. That happened many times. I was told that there was not any freight out west. BS
