    Not sure what you expected but you were judged on the entirety of your post.

    You signed up for Swift and should have known you would be spending weeks in a truck with another person. When you didn't like it you quit.

    You went to drive for someone a friend of yours drove for. Either you didn't ask the right questions or your friend sugar coated how things would be. Turned out not so good and again, you quit.

    Just how do you think that should be perceived? Dedicated? Reliable? A good risk to invest time and money training?

    If you can't be specific with your last company then it never happened.Bottom line is this is trucking and you need to deal with your trainer for weeks if you wanna be successful.If you wanna go with companies with a week or two of training then the only results you're going to see is a loser of a company.Far as me not here to help you what's the point,youre not caring what the ppl with constructive criticism is saying.Point is put your big boy pants on before starting this industry.

    My mistake. I had the feeling this was an ear tickle thread, and I ignored my instincts. Sorry about that.

    I'm not expecting nothing men...

    I'm just here reading what people offer to say.

    And about your opinion I think I got it from your first post lol. And it's seems you are the one who expectinh me to agree with everything you say.

    If you tell me , you never quit a job I'll raise my hat to you.
    But men ! don't try to use it as to put people down. Because that's all you and your other friend are doing. Really. Try to empathize a little more.

    Not everybody can be as perfect as you are my friend... and I don't try to be sarcastic. You might be a better and harder worker. WHO KNOWS?

    Again , thanks for taking the time to answer my post.

    Good luck to you. PEACE ✌️✌️

    Thanks men!
    Unfortunately companies who run local are not hiring people with less than a year of experience usually.

    PEACE ✌️

    What's your point men ?
    If you're an unsafe driver it's your choice, but don't encourage people to be like you please.
