    Yes to all 4. If you've just completed school, I'm almost certain that you will get paired up with Mentor for and train for 4-6 weeks.

    Lewiston is an O.K terminal. Dirt parking lot, driver facilities are so/so. I also recall being told it was the only terminal that you don't come in/out through a security gate.

    Don't know how the DM's/Planners are. Never had to interact with them.

    Yeah you'll have to do all that again. And the few times we went through there when we were OTR it was okay and at that time didn't have a gate. I thought the shower was disgusting and demanded the cleaning chemicals & equipment lol I cleaned the shower then used it.

    Check the shower head, it was full of mold that day until I cleaned it. So take a look at it before you get under it's spray.

    There are a lot of good companies especially the smaller ones there in Montana. I would think twice or three or four or five times before choosing Swift!

    Well actually Chompi, I was joking with you. See the little smilie? I think it's a shame that you believe I "attacked" you because it certainly wasn't. An attack would have been much different.

    You have a great day Chompi.:biggrin_25525:

    I'm sure it wasn't an attack and I do appreciate everyones opinion other wise I wouldn't ask...and I've learned over the years I have the last say other then the Lord when it comes to choices so please advise away and remember sometimes in the Cyber world emotion is hard to detect in the typed word..yours and everyones knoledge is greatly appretiated and for sure my moto is "Why invent the wheel when so many have worked so hard to get it round".. :yes2557: ... :sign2: and I hope to be able to pass on some valued advise myself oneday.. :sunny:
