    What do you do? Oversized freight or something? I was referring to OTR stuff not specific dedicated or specialized freight.
    BTW, Congrats on the great gig. Those jobs are hard to find and aren't getting easier to get into..

    I made $45k this year. Home most nights during the week, off all day Sat and Sun with a weekend shift once every 2 months or so as the drivers take turns doing it. I grant you that newbies are not going to get this type of job but you can find them. The carrier I'm with now is a dedicated carrier for one company (pretty much unless your over 250 miles out then you can get a backhaul right back home otherwise you deliver and go back empty). I found this job by driving by the small terminal and seeing a sign on their fence that said "Now Hiring Drivers". Got home, drove my pov back filled out a job app and 1 week later was hired.

    Where does this information come from? Central is a cousin company to Swift. There is no connection between Swift and CRE.

    If England really has fired you and is holding up paperwork so no one else can hire you, you need to talk to a lawyer about writing them a letter. They need to fish or cut bait. I hate to suggest a lawyer, as they tend to be expensive, but that may be the only way to get this resolved.
