Hiring Area

I called the recruiter as was told that they hire in SC but not east of I-95. Disappointed. Do you guys think that this may change in the not so distant future or am I just plain screwed when it comes to Swift. I have a friend in the Charlotte area and she say I could change my address to her's but I would want to change it back eventually. Myrtle Beach is my home and I would prefer to do my hometime here eventually. I have no wife, kids, friends, family, pets so I could saty out a while if that would make a difference but according to the recruiter they just don't hire here now. Just was wondering what you guys thought. Thanks.

I don't think they hire without experience. I have a cdl but haven't seen a truck for two years and even the didn't have but a couple days. I can drive the truck. No problem but don't have the experience. Thanks.

 

Yes, there were a couple USX, SChneider. They would take a 40 hr refresher course. USX wants me to run teams for six months. Schneider may be a possibilty but they hire for individual jobs and there is only one in my area. And it's dedicated for only 1500 to 2000 miles a week. I was hoping that I could just sign up for OTR or regional but I don't think it works that way. Swift, said they would take me if I can pass the road test without the 40 hrs refresher which I am sure I can pass. I was just trying to all my ducks in a row. I appreciate the suggestion though. I thought about WSE too. I really am not fussy about the trucks, hometime and even mileage for my first year. Just want to get experience. I consider the first year training.

 

I am going to have to contact them if that's the case. On their website it says minimum 1 year but things may have changed. Looks like a good company though. You mave have givin me a little hope. Thanks for that.
