Not much time and only one shot at this. Please help.

Even after finishing Swift's "Top Gun" school -- I would not put that driver on a dollar store type account.

Find a "big box" account, instead -- or just do OTR.

There's usually more money with OTR jobs anyway (vs local or regional), with truckload carriers.

I shot this picture above -- of a Swift tractor -- pulling a Walmart load.

Obviously -- if you drove for Swift -- it's conceivable that you could at some point work your way over to an acct like this one.

With those other fleets -- I've never seen them pull Walmart trailers.

Just some more food for thought....

Counterpoint:

Marten Transport is apparently a good fleet to drive for -- but at 6 months, if you are in fact pulling loads for Walmart (or will be, soon) with Swift -- I would indeed stay there.

That's a sweet gig, especially for a new(er) driver.

And the experience/general working conditions that you'd be getting is arguably some of the best that you could reasonably ask for -- anywhere.

Lots of fleets have wally accounts. Swift, usxpress, crete/shaffer, pumpkin, marten.

 

Perhaps that's true.

But -- I've never SEEN them doing such.

There's a difference.

If I haven't seen them doing so -- they must not be major players in that world.

For the OP -- we've already discussed "the Pumpkin"....& Crete/Shaffer generally/usually don't hire total rookies.

Marten wants (at least) 6 months experience -- thus...not a beginner carrier, either.

US Express?
"Well, do ya feel lucky?"

I see them everyday

 

In your section of the world....

But around here....not so much.

That's to name a few....lol

 

CR England, Knight, and so on. They deliver to all the Walmarts & Sam's Clubs around here. There's a couple more also, just don't remember the names right now.
The OP is on the verge of losing his home, so can't afford to fart around with his pay.
