    Good luck and if you would please let us know how it goes and what kind of money you're making. It sounds like you're are going with swift.

    There are two types of mentors...

    One of them proudly wears his blue shirt, wipes off the back of the trailer where it says something about "award winning drivers", and only conversates with other blue shirts.

    The other type mentor may actually be a decent person.

    Then you have the mentor that has all of 6 months driving experience himself.

    I have been out two weeks with driving mentor, and yes with Swift. He is an o/o with a kenworth T2000 nice tractor.
    we are having a great time. and lots of miles. We went from Richmond Virgina to Sacramento, on just our second load. He did splurge for tickets to the races in Richmond, we both like Nascar. On home time now, heading back out in 2 days. making 450.00 week and going to 500.00 next week. So far I really like Swift.
