    Terminated my contract because of a log violation 10 minutes into the red, won’t really get into the specifics but will I be able to find another job soon? They said they would hire me as company 6 months from now, but I don’t know if that’s totally true. I’m good with everyone at the terminal so I’m guessing I will be able to come back… but I’m in central Florida and I’m trying to look for a new gig in the meantime.

    Yes, some swift trucks actually go 75 mph, so if you ever tried to catch up to a swift truck, but couldn’t, that’s why.
