    When I did my retest I had a TE that was thinking of going on Choice.
    That's all he talked about..I could've run over anything but a person and been all right.

    yes this is true
    All I know is when I have to be at a certain location on a certain day/time it affects my profitability cause no longer can I simply follow the money as I normally do.

    when i joined and had my first driving test I was given negative points for not getting out and looking when backing into a space.
    The space though was in the middle of nothing around, the size of an empty truck stop lot.
    I asked wtf was i supposed to get out and look at? That there was nothing around.
    He said it doesn't matter it's the rules. :rolleyes:

    I'm not making that mistake again.

    What do they do if you fail? Contract a Swift driver to take you out training?

    yeahhhhhhhh I waited till Friday and got kinda screwed oh well. Usually lots gets added on Fridays but not this time
    I did get a load to my house for about $1.72 and then Tuesday about 500 miles to IL for $1.54 all miles to IL. So that's okay, anytime I can get back to the midwest for more than $1.40 from my house I'm good with. I need to get out of a truck for the sake of getting out of a truck lol.
    Should get home around 6pm and then leave back to work about 1pm next day. Then it's 3 weeks working and then road trip to Florida for the Holidays
