    Hi, I just got out of the Army a couple months back. I already have my Class A. I'm looking for something regional or local around EL Paso. Any one have any ideas? I was looking at Swift...Thoughts?

    You have so many options in El Paso, all you have to do it drive down the I 10 and knock on doors. After gaining information and possible offers, spend some time checking what you were told.

    EX military myself. I can tell you right now I was picked up by a local carrier while I was still on terminal leave. Try Craig's List under "transport" jobs. There are quite a few carriers that will hire without experience.

    Swift, CR England, CRST and some of the other big name carriers will probably pick you up in a heartbeat. I am not sure how long they keep their guys out, but you may not be home every day.
